HC Deb 27 November 1947 vol 444 cc2124-5
82. Mr. Tolley

asked the Minister of Health when work will commence on the Barnsley Hall Emergency Hospital.

Mr. Bevan

A contract is about to be let, and the work should commence in the near future.

Mr. Tolley

Will my right hon. Friend see that no further delay takes place, having regard to the promise given on 1st November, and in view of the urgency of the matter?

Mr. Bevan

My hon. Friend will realise that, quite frequently, delays take place in building, and for obvious reasons.
