Does my right hon. Friend realise that his decision will have the full support of the Roehampton Governors and of the ex-Service associations, as it will give them, for the first time since 1939, some say in the actual running of the hospital? What is even more important from my point of view is that it will keep this hospital, which has such a splendid record in the service of the war-disabled, right up to date from a medical and administrative viewpoint. Can my right hon. Friend say whether the extra governors whom he appoints will all come from Roehampton?
