§ Sir A. Knoxasked the Minister of Health if he will approach the War Office with a view to taking over huts in a neighbourhood, of which he has been informed, recently vacated by troops in order to utilise the space for the temporary accommodation of workers, discharged soldiers and their families, some of whom are living in appalling conditions of overcrowding.
§ Miss HorsbrughI am informed that the War Office have no huts they can release, in the neighbourhood referred to, but if my hon. and gallant Friend will let me have particulars of the huts he has in mind I will have further inquiries made and will ask my right hon. Friend to consider whether it would be practicable to use the accommodation for the purpose suggested.
