HC Deb 10 February 1938 vol 331 c1298W
Sir C. Rawson

asked the Minister of Health whether His Majesty's Government will introduce legislation to effect the derating of hospitals, in view of the heavy burdens they carry consequent on rebuilding and reassessment?

Sir K. Wood

I regret that it is not possible to do what my hon. Friend desires. Proposals of this kind have been considered on many occasions and there have been found to be strong objections to their adoption.
