67. Dr. HASTINGS

asked the Minister of Health what progress is being made in the arrangements for post-graduate teaching in the Hammersmith Hospital?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Miss Lawrence)

A Royal Charter constituting the Governing Body of the British Postgraduate Medical School and defining the functions of the governors was approved by the King in Council on the 29th June; and active steps are being taken in collaboration with the London County Council to proceed as quickly as possible with the planning and building of the school and with the adaptation of the hospital for the purposes of post-graduate medical education.

Dr. HASTINGS

Can my hon. Friend give any idea when the school will be open for teaching purposes?

Miss LAWRENCE

Not at the present moment.
