HC Deb 25 March 1969 vol 780 c287W
Commander Pursey

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what steps are being taken to stop the ill-treatment of sick children in the Hull Royal Infirmary Children's Convalescent Home at Hornsea where children are hit across the knuckles with a large spoon and those children who use swear words are being made to swallow soap and water.

Mr. Crossman

I am arranging for the allegations recently reported to me by my hon. Friend to be investigated.
