§ 116. Captain GUNST0Nasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the proposal of the Corporation of Bristol to use Blaise Castle as a tuberculosis institution for advanced cases is strongly opposed by the inhabitants of Henbury, whose; houses, school, etc., surround Blaise Castle; and will he have this matter further inquired into?
§ Sir KINGSLEY WOODMy right hon. Friend has received a letter from the Henbury Parish Council objecting to this proposal. In the event of the Bristol Corporation applying for his approval to the use of the premises for the treatment of tuberculosis, this objection will be considered. My right hon. Friend is advised, however, that there is no ground for considering that a properly conducted institution for the treatment of tuberculosis is in any way a danger to the health of the community among whom it is situated, and that no risk is incurred by living in the immediate neighbourhood of such an institution.
§ Colonel WOODCOCKWould the Board of Trade have any information upon this?
§ Sir K. WOODNo, Sir. It is a matter for the Ministry of Health, not the Board of Trade.
