§ 6. Sir Gifford Foxasked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of the large additional numbers of persons for whom holidays with pay are now assured, he will take steps to encourage the provision, in various parts of the country, of rural camps, where persons can obtain cheap holiday accommodation; and whether, in this connection, he will cooperate with the Lord Privy Seal, in view of the fact that such camps might have great utility in the event of an emergency?
§ Mr. E. BrownConsiderable facilities of this kind already exist through various forms of organisation, and it may reasonably be expected that they will be expanded by similar methods in order to meet any further demand. I should welcome such an expansion, though I should make it clear that I have no funds that 3062 could be applied to that purpose. As regards the second part of the question, my hon. Friend may be assured that there will be no lack of co-operation between the Lord Privy Seal and myself.
§ Sir G. FoxWill funds be available to the Commissioners for the Special Areas?
§ Mr. BrownIf my hon. Friend will look at the report again, he will see that there is a passage in it about this matter.
§ Mr. DayWill the right hon. Gentleman see that there is no lack of any cooperation, and can he say whether there has been any approach made to the Lord Privy Seal on the subject?
§ Mr. BrownIf the hon. Member wants any specific information about that, perhaps he will put a question down.
