HC Deb 24 October 1939 vol 352 cc1226-7W
Mr. David Adams

asked the Minister of Health whether he can assure the House that the existing health services, which have already shown excellent results in the health of the new armies, will not in any way be curtailed on grounds of economy?

Miss Horsbrugh

I can assure the hon. Member that, in weighing the needs of the nation in financial and other respects, the Government will attach? full importance to the adequate maintenance of the health services, which they recognise as a necessary part of the nation's requirement in war as well as in peace.
