HC Deb 01 May 1930 vol 238 cc364-5
51. Mr. DAY

asked the Minister of Health how many local authorities have improved their code of by-laws during the previous two years with reference to the sanitary conditions that exist through the hop-picking season; and can he state whether any further improvements have been suggested by his Department to local authorities for the forthcoming season?

The MINISTER of HEALTH (Mr. Arthur Greenwood)

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given on this subject to the hon. Member for Barnstaple (Sir B. Peto) on the 15th April.

Mr. DAY

Has the Ministry any inspectors who take opportunities of seeing these hop-pickers, and seeing whether any improvement in the conditions can be made?
