HC Deb 20 February 1958 vol 582 cc174-5W
74. Mr. Dodds

asked the Minister of Health if he will make a statement following consideration of the representations by Mr. Derek Short, who has recently been discharged from the Rampton Mental Hospital, as to the harmful effects of scrubbing stone floors for 8½ hours per day, which representations were communicated to him by the honourable Member for Erith and Crayford; and why the four-hour regulation was exceeded in this case.

Mr. Walker-Smith

I would refer the hon. Member to the Adjournment debate of 19th December, to which I have nothing to add.
