HC Deb 04 August 1965 vol 717 c333W
Mr. MacArthur

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what changes are proposed in the hospital building programme in Perth and Bridge of Earn, as set out in the 1964 White Paper, Revision of Hospital Plan for Scotland, in view of the recent economic measures.

Mr. Ross

None.

Mr. Stodart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether the programme for hospital building at present under review will be affected either in development areas or elsewhere as a result of the recent economic measures.

Mr. Ross

My right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer's statement on 27th July made it clear that the six-month postponement of non-industrial capital projects would not apply to hospitals.
