The executive requested that this information be supplied before hearing any such application. It was decided also to write to Buses Limited and to request that before any time-tables are offered to the Licensing Authority for permit that the executive be first consulted on the matter. More State Houses , . The Minister of Works, Mr Semple, replied to representations made by the Chamber for more State dwellings.
