§ MR. L. R. HOLLAND (Tower Hamlets, Bow, and Bromley)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the fact that the intended visit of the chief inspector to inquire into the circumstances of certain cases of lead poisoning in the Potteries district will not be in the nature of a surprise visit, he will, either now or after such inquiry has been made, take an opportunity of acquainting the House with the nature of the reports already received from inspectors as the result of the surprise visits they have made?
§ THE HOME SECRETARYI have no doubt that at a later stage, I shall be able to inform the House as to the general results of the inquiries. Surprise visits, of course, are useful in ascertaining how far some of the existing rules are enforced; but this is only a part of the subject.
