§ 62. Miss RATHBONEasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to the site of the Lock Hospital, in Paddington, extending to four acres and now advertised for sale; and whether his approval of its use as a site for working-class houses has begin applied for?
Sir H. YOUNGI am aware that the property referred to has been for sale for some time. My approval for its purchase for housing purposes has not been applied for.
§ Mr. HARRISWill the right hon. Gentleman bring pressure on the public authorities concerned to make use of this most suitable site, which is badly wanted in that area?
Sir H. YOUNGNo, Sir; I am not of opinion that this is a case in which I should bring pressure to bear upon the local authorities.
