HC Deb 10 February 1948 vol 447 c52W
111. Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Health what is to happen to the un-expired deeds of covenant to hospitals which are being taken over by the Government.

Mr. J. Edwards

Like other endowments they will, in the case of teaching hospitals, pass to the new Boards of Governors and, in the case of non-teaching hospitals, to the Hospital Endowments Fund for use at the discretion of the hospital bodies for hospital purposes or research. They will not pass to the Exchequer.
