HC Deb 13 June 1955 vol 542 cc245-6
4. Mr. Swingler

asked the Minister of Health what progress has been made towards an agreed plan for the installation of radio-telephone equipment in the ambulances of the Staffordshire Health Authority.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health (Miss Patricia Hornsby-Smith)

Revised proposals were received on 6th June on which my right hon. Friend has agreed a start can be made.

Mr. Swingler

Does that mean that the plan is now agreed and will be approved by the Minister, or may we expect more months of delay?

Miss Hornsby-Smith

The proposals were received from the Staffordshire County Council on 6th June. The council has already got the "go-ahead" and the new proposals provide for the council to operate four stations.
