§ Mr. Websterasked the Secretary of State for Social Services for what reason the building of the first stage of the new general hospital at Weston-super-Mare is being deferred from the financial year 1969–70, as announced in February, 1967, to the financial year 1971–72.
§ Mr. SnowBecause the totality of the schemes which the Board originally hoped to start during the period in question seemed likely to have a heavier cash flow than was estimated when the programme was drawn up. The Board are now engaged in revising their programme beyond 1969–70, and while it is too early to say exactly what the measure of deferment30W of this scheme will turn out to be, it will not necessarily be so long as is suggested in the hon. Member's Question.
