Mr. G. Thomas
asked the Minister of Works how many licences, respectively, to build and to extend commercial garages have been granted since and including November, 1951; and on what principles priority is given to these projects over housing schemes.
Mr. Eccles
Since 1st November, 1951, licences to a total value of £270,000 have been issued in England and Wales for 101 new commercial garages and 121 extensions. These schemes have no priority over housing.
