§ Mr. Wheatleyasked the Secretary of State for Scotland to state the values of the 57 building projects submitted by regional hospital boards in Scotland which have been approved and started; the value of the 41 projects which have been approved but have not yet been started; and when these latter projects are likely to start.
§ Mr. J. StuartThe total value of the 57 projects under way is about £2,450,000, of which £800,000 is due to be carried out during 1953. The total value of the 41 other projects is about £1,700,000. I hope that regional boards will be able to start most of these during 1953, but resources cannot be made available for carrying out more than about £300,000 of work on them during the year.
