§ Sir H. Nichollsasked the Minister of Health (1) if he will call for a report from the East Anglia Hospital Board on its views as to the desirability of the appointment by him of an alternative architect as umpire with a view to minimising the risk of a fracture in the East Anglia Hospital Board's contract for the building of Peterborough Hospital;
8W(2) if he will call for a report from the East Anglia Hospital Board on the extent to which action under the terms of the contract for the building of Peterborough Hospital which might result in redeployment in the site by an alternative contractor would result in extensive and expensive delays in providing hospital facilities to people in Peterborough and district.
§ Mr. K. RobinsonI would refer the hon. Member to my reply to him on 26th July. I am informed that the Board has decided to terminate the contractor's employment.
