HC Deb 15 July 1948 vol 453 c134W
108. Mr. Driberg

asked the Minister of National Insurance to which Department questions should be addressed concerning the administration of the Polish camp and hostel at Rivenhall, near Witham, Essex; and if he is satisfied that the food and conditions at this camp, about which there were complaints a few months ago, when responsibility for the camp and its inmates was shared by various Departments, have now been improved substantially.

Mr. Steele

This camp was taken over on 7th May as a hostel for Polish civilians under the administration of the National Assistance Board, and questions with regard to it should be addressed to my right hon. Friend. Improvements in the food and general conditions have already been effected. Further improvements will he introduced as soon as certain works services and the installation of additional equipment now in hand have been completed.
