HC Deb 12 May 1988 vol 133 c244W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will call for a report from Hounslow and Spelthorne district health authority over the sponsorship of Kempton races to pay for staff salaries.

Mrs. Currie

I understand that the sponsorship of Kempton park races was connected with a charitable appeal towards upgrading the buildings and buying more modern equipment at Ashford and West Middlesex hospitals. There is a long-standing tradition of such support for the Health Service, for which we are most grateful. I hope everyone concerned enjoyed their day.
