§ Mr. MARCHasked the Minister of Health if he is aware that a public appeal is being made for funds to erect a hospital to meet the need; of the new residential centre at Becor tre,e created by the London County Council; and will he in future, when sanctioning housing schemes, take into consideration the hospital accommodation in or near the area of the housing scheme?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. It is only in quite exceptional 2757W cases such as that mentioned by my hon. Friend that the transference of population involved in a housing scheme would be such as to make it necessary to give special consideration to the hospital accommodation in or near the area of the scheme, but the point will not be overlooked in any comparable cases.
