HC Deb 01 November 1948 vol 457 c29W
98. Mr. Beswick

asked the Minister of Works if he is aware that the former British Restaurant at Angus Drive, Ruislip, which was stated by his Department, in January, 1947, to be urgently needed as a maintenance depot, is still empty and is disintegrating; and whether he will see that it is either utilised or pulled down altogether.

Mr. Key

I am aware that the building is empty. It was never used as a maintenance depot because my Department agreed to release it for use as a community centre. The ensuing negotiations with the local education authority concerned are not yet concluded.
