§ 30. Colonel Wedgwoodasked the Minister of Health whether he will inquire as to the number of Jewish refugees in Brighton who have thrown up their work and become a charge on the Brighton rates?
§ Mr. ElliotI have made inquiries and I am informed that only three Jews who have come to Brighton since the outbreak of war had received relief from the Brighton public assistance authority up to yesterday morning.
§ Colonel WedgwoodHas the right hon. Gentleman seen a statement that was made in the Brighton Town Council that whole streets of Jews have thrown up their jobs and come upon the rates, and may I ask whether that is typical of the anti-Semitic, pro-Hitler propaganda in Brighton?
§ Mr. LipsonCan the right hon. Gentleman say how many non-Jews have applied for relief?
§ Mr. ElliotNo, Sir. Obviously, I cannot say that without notice.
