§ Sir G. Foxasked the Minister of Works what action is being taken against the representative of the W.V.S. in charge of requisitioned property for clothing at 86, Eaton Square, London, S.W.1, for not reporting to the rodent officer a serious ship-rat infestation; and what steps his Department is taking to see that such residential requisitioned property is properly inspected and cared for.
§ Mr. Tomlinson:There is no evidence supporting the suggestion of serious in- 126W festation by ship rats at 86, Eaton Square and no damage has occurred either to the premises or their contents; the rats are being exterminated. I am satisfied that, in conjunction with occupying Departments, adequate measures are taken to safeguard requisitioned property.
