HC Deb 09 November 1959 vol 613 c11W
51. Miss Lee

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he has completed his study of the living conditions under which Mr. Albert Brumpton and his family are living in Cannock rural council district, Staffordshire, details of which have been sent to him by the hon. Member for Cannock; and what steps are being taken to safeguard the health of both parents and children.

Sir K. Joseph

This case was brought to my right hon. Friend's notice three days ago. He has asked the rural district council, which appears to have responsibility under the Public Health Act, 1936, for dealing with the situation, to consider urgently what it can do.
