§ 64. Major GLYNasked the Minister of Health whether he has considered the Report of the Voluntary Hospitals Commission; and whether it is proposed to provide public funds for hospital extension on the lines recommended?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINYes, Sir. While I fully appreciate the strength of the case for additional hospital beds, I regret that in the present urgent need for public economy I do not find myself able to recommend the provision of public funds to assist even in so laudable an object.
