asked the Minister of Health if his attention has been called to the fact that the North Riding County Council has decided to spend £6,000 on the conversion of the old workhouse in Pickering into a children's home; and whether he proposes to sanction this action?

I have received no application for my sanction to the expenditure mentioned in the question.
