HC Deb 03 May 1928 vol 216 c1886
36. Sir H. BRITTAIN

asked the Minister of Health what is the number of public baths, both covered and open, in the Metropolitan area; and what number of these have been added during the past five years?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The swimming baths in the Administrative County of London provided by public authorities are: covered, 101, open, 19; seven of these have been provided during the last five years, two of them being in place of old baths.

Sir H. BRITTAIN

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the special additional facilities for sun ray treatment which are available in public baths on the Continent are being used in baths in London?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I am not aware of that fact.
