Captain FABERasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will state whether his attention has been called to the indenture of a large colony of Italian youths in the new glass nurseries, Whitehall Road, Chingford, on a very low farinaceous diet, and to their 422 conditions of lodging and maintenance, by which working men in search of work on the old nursery rate of wages find themselves undersold; and, if so, whether he proposes to take any action in the matter?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Masterman)If the hon. and gallant Member can furnish the Secretary of State with information enabling him to discover the Italian colony which he has in mind, my right hon. Friend will look into the matter. The inquiries which he has made so far, though they have extended to all nurseries in the parish of Chingford, have failed to disclose anything of the nature indicated in the question.
