§ Mr. GLYN-JONESasked the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been drawn to the correspondence between the Board and the Middlesex County Council relating to the building of a sanatorium by that body at Mayland, Essex; whether, notwithstanding the circular from the Board of the 25th March, 1915, the erection of the santatorium in question should be proceeded with forthwith; and whether, if the county council apply immediately for permission, he will, subject to the approval of the plans, authorise the raising of the necessary loan?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe answer to the first and last parts of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part, I am advised that there is urgent necessity for the provision of the sanatorium in question.
