HC Deb 13 July 1914 vol 64 cc1471-2
13. Mr. J. WARD

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that, so far, the Keighley Corporation have not made any provision for hospital accommodation upon their waterworks now in course of construction, and that the nearest hospital for the treatment of accident cases is over five miles from the works over rough roads; and whether he proposes to insist upon the corporation making immediate accommodation for such cases on the works in accordance with the Act authorising their construction?

The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Herbert Samuel)

I have been in communication with the Corporation of Keighley on the subject of this question, and I am sending the hon. Member a copy of their reply.
