HC Deb 11 June 1931 vol 253 c1212W
Mr. SHEPHERD

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the overcrowding of the Cambridge casual ward; and whether any immediate steps are being taken to deal with the primitive conditions obtaining there?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The answer to the first part of my hon. Friend's question is in the affirmative, but I am glad to be able to say that the Cambridgeshire County Council have the matter in hand, and have prepared plans which will provide considerably larger and better accommodation for casuals at Cambridge.
