HC Deb 10 December 1956 vol 562 c10W
66. Mrs. L. Jeger

asked the Minister of Health what steps he has taken to provide suitable alternative accommodation for people whose homes have to be demolished to make room for new hospital building, or extensions.

Miss Hornsby-Smith

My right hon. Friend has asked hospital authorities to act with the utmost circumspection before instituting proceedings to obtain possession of houses and has advised them to consult the local housing authority about the possibility of providing alternative accommodation if hardship is likely to be caused.
