§ Mr. Iain MacleodA new hospital for Swindon is regarded as the first priority in the Oxford Region, and as I told the House on 9th February, I have already asked the regional hospital board concerned to bring to completion the100W planning of the first stage. I hope that work will start in 1956. I cannot yet say whether it will be possible to complete the remaining stages as a continuous operation.
