HC Deb 05 November 1973 vol 863 cc82-3W
Mr. Atkinson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services which health centres in the London borough of Haringey have received loan sanction; and how many have been refused or deferred by his Department for 1973–74.

Mr. Alison

No application for loan sanction has been received but the Haringey Borough Council has been informed that approval for building to start during 1973–74 cannot be given to the proposed health centres at Bounds Green and Crouch End.

Mr. Atkinson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services to what extent the public expenditure cuts of 21st May and 8th October will affect the work to be done on the Prince of Wales and St. Ann's Hospitals in the London borough of Haringey during the years 1973–74 and 1975.

Mr. Alison

Two schemes at each hospital due to start next year may be delayed in accordance with the statement made by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister on 8th October. The statement made by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 21st May did not affect work on hospitals.
