HC Deb 05 February 1968 vol 758 c12W
71. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Minister of Health to what extent in regard to the sale of surplus land it remains his practice to offer such land to all other Government Departments to see whether it is required for public purposes.

Mr. Snow

My right hon. Friend has no intention of changing the long-standing practice by which land vesting in him and surplus to the requirements of the National Health Service is offered first to other Government Departments.
