HC Deb 31 July 1930 vol 242 c737W
Viscountess ASTOR

asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider appointing a woman inspector for permanent duty in the hop-pickers' camps in all hop-picking districts?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The answer is in the negative. The appointment of inspectors for permanent duty in the hop-fields is not a matter for my Department, but rather for the local authorities, whose duty it is to enforce by-laws for securing the decent lodging and accommodation of persons engaged in hop-picking.
