HC Deb 01 July 1943 vol 390 c1759
23. Sir F. Fremantle

asked the Minister of Health whether he will provide for new buildings to be rat-proof in their construction?

Mr. E. Brown

While I shall be happy to consider any suggestions my hon. Friend may be able to make towards this object, I am advised that no practicable method has yet been discovered of attaining that object completely.

Sir F. Fremantle

Will the right hon. Gentleman also bear this in mind in the Committees which are considering future building, inasmuch as there is very great eonomic loss from rats in warehouses?

Mr. Brown

Undoubtedly.
