HC Deb 18 June 1928 vol 218 c1426W
Mr. SHEPHERD

asked the Minister of Health whether he will instruct boards of guardians to arrange for the medical inspection of casuals to be carried out in the eve Ling before the risk of infection of clothes and bedding has been incurred, and also in order that men may be released early in the morning and thus be given time to search for employment en route for the next casual ward?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I am afraid that the varying conditions of staff and accommodation in the different casual wards, and the late hour of arrival of some casuals, make it impracticable to arrange t rat effect should be given to the hon. Member's suggestion.
