asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what effect the expenditure involved in rebuilding the Sick Children's Hospital, Yorkhill, will have on the proposed redevelopment of the Glasgow Royal Infirmary.

The scale of the rebuilding operation needed will be known only after the children's hospital has been evacuated and fully examined. It will then be for the Western Regional Hospital Board to decide how the remainder of its programme is to be adjusted to accommodate this scheme. It is not possible at present to say definitely which other project or projects may be affected.

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland, if the proposals for the redevelopment of the Royal Infirmary on its existing site will be examined by the Royal Commission on Medical Education, with particular reference to location of the institutions providing medical education.

Whether or not particular proposals should be examined is for the Royal Commission itself to decide.
