HC Deb 29 June 1948 vol 452 c196W
77. Mr. Spence

asked the Minister of Works what priority is being given to the building of implement sheds, steadings, etc., on farms; and how many applications for licences are at present outstanding.

Mr. Key

I understand that the hon. Member is asking for information in regard to Scotland. Priority is given to any work of this character which is recommended by the Department of Agriculture for Scotland as immediately essential in the interests of agriculture. Two hundred and eighty-three applications for licences for such work are at present outstanding in Scotland.
