§ 75. Brigadier Headasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to the coroner's remarks regarding the recent death, through overcrowding, of a child in Poplar; and what action he proposes to take.
§ Mr. BevanI have seen a Press report of this unfortunate case, and understand that the cause of death was asphyxia from suffocation. I am informed that the family concerned had made no recent application for rehousing. The London County Council are now investigating the matter.
