HC Deb 15 April 1926 vol 194 cc489-90
58. Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the Secretary for Mines how many grants have been made out of the Miners' Welfare Fund to assist in the erection of new hospitals or to extend existing hospitals; the districts where the grants were made; and the amount of such grants?

The SECRETARY for MINES (Colonel Lane Fox)

Thirty-one allocations have been made out of the Miners' Welfare Fund to assist in the erection of hospitals or to extend existing hospitals in the districts of Fife, Northumberland, Durham, North Wales, West Yorkshire, South Derby, Warwickshire, Forest of Dean, and South Wales. The total amount of the allocations is £53,720. I am sending the hon. Member a detailed list of the schemes.

Mr. SPENCER

Does that include convalescent homes?

Colonel LANE FOX

I think the hon. Member had better give notice of that question.
