HC Deb 19 December 1932 vol 273 cc732-3
32. Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware of dm indignation in many industrial areas at the character of the tasks set as test work and will he cause an inquiry to be made with a view to improving the conditions of men in receipt of outdoor relief?

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

No, Sir. I am sending the hon. Member a copy of a report of the special inquiry made into this subject by my right hon. Friend's predecessor.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Is the hon. Gentleman satisfied, then, that his right bon. Friend's predecessor did abolish all this cause for indignation?

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

You cannot ever abolish all cause for indignation. If my hon. Friend has any particular case in mind, I will gladly inquire into it.
