HC Deb 01 August 1939 vol 350 cc2195-6W
Mr. Mathers

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is in a position to make a statement regarding the threatened encroachment upon East Fortune sanatorium; and whether he will take steps to ensure that, before any irrevocable steps are taken, the local authorities concerned will be fully consulted?

Mr. Colville

I am not yet in a position to add to the replies to previous questions on this subject, about which I am in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Air. I can assure the hon. Member that the views of the local authorities concerned are fully appreciated by my right hon. Friend and myself.
