HC Deb 18 July 1929 vol 230 c650W
Brigadier-General CLIFTON BROWN

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the protests by the people of Woodley and Wokingham Rural District Council against the proposals of the Reading Board of Guardians to build a tramp clearing-house at Woodley; and whether he will institute a public inquiry into the matter before any further steps are taken?

Mr. GREENWOOD

A number of representations has been made to me against this proposal, but after careful consideration I have given the sanction necessary to enable the work to proceed. I am afraid I cannot undertake to reopen the matter.
