§ Mr. MARKHAMasked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the fact that the Departmental Committee investigating the warmth factor in comfort at work, only carried out its investigations during the winter months, facilities will be given for an extension of these investi- 2816W gations to cover the spring and autumn months, with particular reference to the effects not only of warmth in comfort, but also of humidity?
§ Mr. R. MacDONALDI have been asked to reply. The investigation was made on behalf of the Medical Research Council, under the direction of a committee jointly appointed by that body and by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. The committee have already recommended that the work should be extended along lines such as the hon. Member suggests, and I am informed that action will be taken accordingly.
