§ Mr. Thorneasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that the members of the West Ham County Borough passed a unanimous resolution asking him to receive a deputation from them regarding the use of part of the Forest Gate hospital site for the purpose of a Civil Defence depot; and why he refused to receive such deputation in view of the importance attached to the matter?
§ Mr. H. MorrisonI am aware of the resolution referred to in the first part of the Question. Neither my right hon. Friend the Minister of Health nor I felt that the circumstances justified the attendance of a deputation.
