HC Deb 19 March 1941 vol 370 c161
51. Mr. Liddall

asked the Minister of Health whether he will, as part of the physical reconstruction planning, arrange with the London County Council gradually to abolish the derelict houses in slum areas around the Baker Street district of Marylebone which have been converted for use as private nursing homes and to replan the whole private nursing home system and location in Central London?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health (Miss Horsbrugh)

The needs of adequate medical services will be borne in mind in the plans for physical reconstruction of large areas, but my hon. Friend will appreciate that it is too early to make any statement on the position of particular areas or particular services after the war.
