HC Deb 02 July 1936 vol 314 c630W
Mr. JENKINS

asked the Minister of Labour whether he has considered the complaint recently submitted to him that the lodgings approved by the Ministry of Labour for a Monmouthshire secondary school girl who was transferred to London are verminous and insanitary; that there are 10 girls living in the house and also male lodgers; that there are six girls sleeping in the same room; and will he take immediate steps to remove this house from the list of approved lodgings?

Mr. E. BROWN

I have fully investigated the complaint to which the hon. Member refers. I am sending him a detailed report, but I think it right to say that he will see from that statement that the information upon which his question is based is wholly misleading and in no way corresponds to the facts.
