§ Mr. WARDLAW-MILNEasked the Minister of Health whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce legislation extending the benefits of derating to the voluntary hospitals?
§ Mr. GREENWOODIt is not at present the intention to introduce such legislation. It would not be practicable to pro pose the total or partial exemption of hospitals from rating without at the same time considering the claims for similar exemption of other charitable and public institutions.
