HC Deb 04 February 1943 vol 386 c1030
21. Mr. Clement Davies

asked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to the condition of a house in the county of Carmarthen, owned by a local authority in that county and occupied by a woman and her children, which has been described as unfit for the housing of animals; and what steps he has taken, or is taking with regard to the matter.

Mr. E. Brown

I am having the matter looked into and will communicate with my hon. and learned Friend as soon as possible.

Mr. Davies

Has my right hon. Friend ascertained whether the report that I sent him is right, that this house is subject to periodical flooding, the walls are damp, that already one of this woman's children has died of pneumonia, and that the matter is urgent?

Mr. Brown

I will let my right hon. and learned Friend know as soon as I receive a full report.
