§ 7. Mr. Guyasked the Minister of Labour if he will investigate the conditions at a war workers' hostel, the name of which has been communicated to him; and whether he will direct that, unless and until these conditions are satisfactory, no workers shall be transferred into the district in circumstances which require residence at the hostel.
§ Mr. BevinI have ascertained that the camp to which my hon. Friend refers needed extensive repairs and reconditioning. There was some unfortunate delay in starting the work, but I understand that good progress has since been made, and I see no need now for special directions of the kind mentioned in the second part of the Question.
§ Mr. GuyMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman if he will expedite the repair of this place as much as possible?
§ Mr. BevinI am doing my best in all these cases but I would ask the hon. Member to appreciate that the heavy demand for building labour makes my task rather difficult.
