HC Deb 09 April 1925 vol 182 c2401
30. Mr. HARDIE

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that certain occupied sunk flats in, the St. Pancras area are infested with bugs and rats and that rents are being collected for such places; and whether he will see that these houses are put into habitable condition.

Sir H. BARNSTON

My right hon. Friend will be glad to be furnished with particulars of the cases the hon. Member has in mind, and he will then consider the matter.

Mr. HARDIE

Does the hon. Gentleman want me to give him the facts now, or will he rather have them in private?

Sir H. BARNSTON

Perhaps my hon. Friend will send them to me.

Sir H. BRITTAIN

Why should this interference from Scotland be added to the already existing trouble of bugs and rats?
