HC Deb 05 June 1981 vol 5 c440W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will take steps to ensure that private benefaction to the National Health Service is used and distributed fairly throughout the whole of the United Kingdom for essential advancement.

Dr. Vaughan

No. It would be totally wrong for the Government to frustrate the intentions of private benefactors by taking powers to redistribute their gifts.
