15. Major Hillsasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that a case has occurred where boys sent by a voluntary committee from the North to a factory near London were suffering from sores and were in a very bad condition of health; and what steps are taken by the Ministry to supervise the conditions under which such transferences are made by voluntary committees?
§ Mr. E. BrownI could not attempt to identify this case without further particulars, which perhaps my right hon. and gallant Friend will send to me. As regards the second part of the question, I have no power of supervision of the activities of voluntary committees.
