§ 30. Mr. Peter Thorneycroftasked the Minister of Labour whether a decision has yet been reached on the future of the hostel at Brinsford Lodge, Featherstone, in the county of Stafford; and whether he will give an assurance that when this hostel is taken over by his Department no attempt will be made either to abolish the wet canteen or the married quarters.
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour (Mr. Ness Edwards)The position is being reconsidered. At the moment I cannot say more than that we shall do our best to cause as little inconvenience as possible to existing residents.
