HC Deb 20 October 1952 vol 505 cc53-4W
82. Mr. Ellis Smith

asked the Minister of Transport on what grounds a licence was granted under the Defence (General) Regulations, 1939, for the road work at Aintree to enable a new steeplechase course to be constructed.

Mr. Braithwaite

This small work was authorised because it was necessary for the completion of the new Mildmay Racecourse. The cost will not fall upon public funds.
