HC Deb 08 March 1951 vol 485 cc651-2
30. Mr. Baird

asked the Minister of Health the cost of capital developments in the various hospital management committees areas covered by the Birmingham Regional Hospital Board.

Mr. Marquand

As the reply is rather long and contains a number of figures I will, with permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Mr. Nabarro

Will the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind, when considering capital development for the hospital boards in the Midlands area, that there is likely to be a considerable influx of additional industrial workers for the defence programme?

Mr. Marquand

I will take note of that suggestion.

Following is the reply:
