HC Deb 21 June 1948 vol 452 c95W
13. Mr. Osborne

asked the Minister of Works if he is aware that Mr. T. W. Bramhill, of Westwood, Brigsely Road, Waltham, near Grimsby, a pensioner of the first war, has received a letter, dated 7th June, from his regional licensing officer at Nottingham, because he built a greenhouse, for the production of food, with the help of another ex-Service man out of old bricks and timber after the Grimsby Rural District Council had given permission, but contrary to Regulation 56a of which he had no knowledge; and will he either alter Regulation 56a to prevent such cases, or instruct his officials to carry out their duties in a more courteous manner.

Mr. Key

Yes. I understand that Mr. Bramhill carried out building work without obtaining a building licence and my Regional Officer wrote to ask for particulars. I cannot agree that my officials carried out their duties discourteously, or that there is reason for altering the Regulation.
