§ 84. Dr. Comynsasked the Minister of Health if he will state the names of the authorities in the Greater London area which have been allocated mass radiography units; the dates when these units were allotted; and when it will be possible for the county borough of West Ham to have the use of such an apparatus.
§ Mr. BevanThe authorities referred to are the County Councils of London, Middlesex, Surrey and Essex. The first two began mass radiography at the end of 1943, Surrey County Council at the end of 1944, and Essex County Council early in 1945. A further allocation of apparatus to selected authorities who are prepared to operate it, including West Ham Borough Council, is to begin soon, and I shall shortly be communicating with these authorities.
