Mr. EDMUND HARVEYasked the President of the Local Government Board whether he is prepared favourably to consider a scheme for making use of some of the vacant hospital accommodation under the control of the Metropolitan Asylums Board for the provision of sanatoria for consumptives, if the Metropolitan Asylums Board will submit such a scheme?
§ Mr. BURNSThe whole question of utilising the spare accommodation in the institutions under the control of the managers of the Metropolitan Asylums District is under consideration. I may say, however, that the question of using such accommodation for consumptive patients is one involving special difficulties.
