HC Deb 13 February 1919 vol 112 c267
49. Mr. G. LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked the Prime Minister when the Government propose to appoint a Minister of Health?

Mr. BONAR LAW

It is the intention of the Government to proceed with a Bill setting up a Ministry of Health at the earliest possible date.

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

Pending the appointment of a Minister of Health, who will advise the Government in regard to the health side of housing?

Mr. BONAR LAW

That will be done in the meantime by the Local Government Board, I presume.

An HON. MEMBER

Will that scheme apply to Ireland?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I can only give the same answer I gave before.
