HC Deb 18 December 1958 vol 597 c320W
Commander Pursey

asked the Minister of Health what deferred hospital and other projects in Hull he will now approve, as the result of the Government's decision to ease the restrictions on capital expenditure, in order forthwith to reduce the increasing unemployment in Hull.

Mr. Walker-Smith

No additional hospital building is being undertaken in Hull specifically to relieve unemployment, but the Leeds Regional Hospital Board's capital programme for the current financial year includes about £95,000 for work at Hull hospitals and major development to a total value of £1 million is being planned as part of the centrally financed programme.
