HC Deb 24 October 1939 vol 352 cc1209-10W
Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been called to demands made by some householders on the parents of evacuated children, for the payment of a weekly sum equal to the amount already paid from public funds for billeting; and if he will issue a warning that this cannot be condoned?

Mr. Elliot

My attention has been drawn to a few cases of the kind to which the hon. Member refers and I have communicated with the responsible local authority: if the hon. Member will give me particulars of any case he has in mind I shall be glad to have the matter looked into.
