HC Deb 14 February 1924 vol 169 c1044W
Mr. BLACK

asked the Minister of Health whether he is willing to sanction the establishment of infant welfare centres under the supervision of the county councils, and with the useful Government grants wherever efficient voluntary services are offered for the proper conduct thereof?

Mr. WHEATLEY

I am prepared to consider, where additional centres are needed, proposals for the establishment of infant welfare centres by local authorities, or by voluntary bodies acting in co-operation with local authorities, and to pay the usual grants in aid on approved expenditure.
