HC Deb 12 December 1949 vol 470 c2339
13. Mr. Skeffington-Lodge

asked the Minister of Works whether he is aware of the unsatisfactory conditions obtaining at the Twinwood Camp, Clapham, Bedfordshire, a hostel for workers at the nearby Aeronautical Research Station; and whether, in view of the widespread dissatisfaction caused by these conditions, he will take some early action to investigate and remedy them.

Mr. Key

No, Sir. I am not aware that conditions at Twinwood Labour Camp are unsatisfactory. If my hon. Friend has any details in his possession, I will have the matter investigated.

Mr. Skeffington-Lodge

May I give my hon. Friend one or two details now for his investigation? May I ask him whether he is aware that there are no sheets on 300 beds, that the blankets on those beds are never changed—

Mr. Speaker

The hon. Gentleman appears to be giving information and not asking for it. That is not the point of Questions.

Mr. Skeffington-Lodge

On a point of Order, Mr. Speaker. Owing to the fact that the Minister does not appear to be aware of the information I have, I beg to give notice that I shall raise this matter on the Adjournment in order to provide him with the details which he ought already to have.
