HC Deb 22 May 1940 vol 361 c148W
Mr. Denman

asked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware of the lack of adequate provision for the welfare of youths imported into new factory areas; and what steps he proposes to take to ensure for them proper housing, feeding, and opportunity for recreation and healthy use of their leisure?

Mr. H. Morrison

There has not been any substantial number of youths imported into new factory areas around factories belonging to the Ministry of Supply. Active consideration, however, is being given to steps for ensuring proper housing, feeding and opportunities for recreation and use of leisure in the case of two factories now under construction where there is a chance that labour of this kind may be required and may be imported from other districts.
