HC Deb 13 May 1952 vol 500 c108W
109. Mr. Edward Evans

asked the Minister of Works why a licence has been refused to the Bungay Town Sports Association to erect a grandstand when the materials are available, labour can be provided and the need is urgent; if he is aware that this refusal has caused financial hardship to the association; and, in view of the representations made to him by the urban district council and the association, he will now reverse his decision.

Mr. Eccles

My Department receives many similar applications representing in total an appreciable call on the limited resources available for miscellaneous building work. I cannot grant this licence until it is possible to do so for all similar cases. I am reviewing this policy.
