HC Deb 03 February 1953 vol 510 c192W
80. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware that, in the interests of economy, the area of 300 new proposed police houses in Kent was reduced from 1,000 to 850 square feet, with a saving of some £45,000; if he is further aware that objections to this have been upheld and that the ratepayers of Kent will have to find another £45,000, particulars of which have been sent to him; and if he will make a statement as to what action he proposes to take.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

I am looking into the matter and will write to my hon. Friend.
