§ 41. Sir R. Youngasked the Minister of Health whether a letter, addressed by the clerk of the Great Sankey Parish Council to the public assistance officer,. Preston, and by him to the senior regional officer of the Ministry of Health, has yet been replied to and, if so, why the delay and the terms of the reply, and whether 1485 anything definite has been done to give the vulnerable areas of Great Sankey and Penketh a suitable and safe emergency rest centre, seeing that the surrounding towns are also industrial and vulnerable areas?
§ Mr. E. BrownYes, Sir. The original letter from the Clerk of the Great Sankey Parish Council was, unfortunately, not received, but a copy has been obtained and I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of my reply. A large number of buildings in the Warrington rural district, of which the parishes of Great Sankey and Penketh form part, have been earmarked for use as rest centres and I have no reason to believe that the accommodation so provided is either inadequate or unsuitable.
