HC Deb 09 December 1985 vol 88 c448W
29. Sir David Price

asked the hon. Member for Wokingham, as representing the Church Commissioners, why the Church Commissioners have allowed contractors to drill trenches through a block of residential flats which they own on the Edgware road, throughout the weekend, including Sunday mornings, for the installation of cable television.

Sir William van Straubenzee

In order to cause minimum disruption to tenants the commissioners asked the contractors to undertake their work expeditiously. Tenants were informed in advance of the commencement of the work and no complaints have been received. I have arranged for the contractors to undertake no further weekend working after 1 pm on Saturday.
