§ 97. Flight-Lieutenant Parkinasked the Minister of Works how far the six months' delay in completion of the new women's block at Standish House sanatorium, Gloucestershire, is due to shortage of labour; and what steps his Department has taken to remedy this.
§ Mr. TomlinsonAbout six months ago a shortage of bricks for this work was reported to my Department and immediate steps were taken to remedy the matter. I am informed that the new women's block has since been completed. Work is now in progress on an extension. No shortages have been reported and no delays are expected.
