§ 59. Sir Robert Youngasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that an unsigned notice has been posted up at New-church Hall, Warrington, informing residents that persons not bona fide State servants will not be accommodated after 22nd June; whether this notice applies to agricultural and colliery workers resident there and, if so, whether they will be at liberty to return to their homes in other parts of the country, unless alternative accommodation is provided for them, seeing many of them are governed by the Essential Work Order.
§ Mr. IsaacsI understand that the notice referred to was incorrect. All residents not employed by Government Departments 1346 are being informed that they will have to leave during the summer and after the end of June will be liable to be given a week's notice. It is not intended to ask them to leave at once and in so far as the residents affected are transferred industrial workers we shall render them assistance towards finding alternative accommodation so as to obviate the difficulties which the hon. Member foresees.
§ Sir R. YoungWill the right hon. Gentleman see that in future such bewildering notices are not issued and posted unless they are signed by an authoritative person, and will he also make it clear that notices will also be sent to individuals?
§ Mr. IsaacsI am not aware who posted this notice. It might have been anybody.
