§ Mr. PRETYMANasked the President of the Local Government Board whether any of the officers of the Local Government Board have stated that they were strongly inclined to recommend the Grant of £15,000, the full cost of an addition of 100 beds, to the Nayland Sanatorium; whether they advised the managing director of the sanatorium to apply for that Grant accordingly in February last; and whether any decision has been come to in the matter?
§ Mr. BURNSI understand that the managing director of the sanatorium was informed in February last that if an application was made to the Board for a capital Grant of the full cost of the proposed addition of 100 beds it would receive careful consideration. The application is at present under consideration.
