Did you mean wayfarer?
Alex Cole-Hamilton: ...do well to remember that. Madeline Uraneck said: “However they arrive, asylum seekers, immigrants, and refugees reach with outstretched hands toward safer, more promising shores. Welcoming these wayfarers rekindles our humanity and heals our broken parts.” That says to me that there is huge capacity for enhancement in our communities when we welcome people here. We need to do more to...
Gareth Thomas: ...annually. It employs 12 full-time and part-time drivers, six passenger assistants, and has more than 40 volunteer drivers and a small admin team. It provides a community car service and a wayfarers’ club, which helps to provide access to places of interest for those living alone or in sheltered housing. I underline the point that those who run Harrow Community Transport, and have done so...
...understanding of reality must be challenged, but please may you as legislators be compassionate about the effects of change—not everyone can absorb it at the same rate. There will always be the wayfarers, the stragglers, the reluctant and the downright stubborn. Win minds and hearts first, rather than coerce by force of law. May legislators be mindful that for believers, man-made...
Barry Gardiner: ...no question of it being concerned about under-age drinking or anything like that. Parliament sought to control purity and price, and began to consider public order issues, the need to provide for wayfarers and travelling craftsmen, and how to keep the labour force sober and productive. Indeed, I believe that there are Acts that deal with controlling immorality, which was often linked to...
Mr Michael Alison: ...with great patience and perception, thatalas—local government services and their costs cannot be cut precisely to match the transfer of outgoing population. Procrustes had a bed which unwary wayfarers were made to fit. If they were a bit shorter than the bed, they were stretched in an agonising rack; if they were a bit bigger they had bits chopped off. My hon. Friend the Minister has...
Mr Eldon Griffiths: ...whom the Bill will damage. I am thinking, for example, of the people who are helped by the Salvation Army. These unfortunates are very often the ones we do not like to think about—the incontinent wayfarers and the impoverished tramps who are to be found in hostels in various parts of London. Then there are also the spastics, who above all people deserve our help, and the mentally and...
Mr William Molloy: ...appear to be associated with everything that is mean and dirty. Nevertheless in 1973 the council was aware that a number of these caravans had arrived on Department of the Environment land at Wayfarers Estate, Northolt. Understandably there was considerable friction between members of the local community and the caravan dwellers. In March 1974 the leader of the council wrote to the...
Mr David Ennals: ...100 years and, by and large, it has worked very well. I should indeed like to pay tribute to the vast majority of taxi drivers who do not abuse this privilege. They are prepared to take up forlorn wayfarers at all hours of the day and night and deliver them to obscure destinations in remote parts of the Metropolis and to exact a perfectly reasonable toll for doing so. I dare say that...
Mr Harold Wilson: ...about this, but I think he is going too far in suggesting that the problems of all these people, including, for example, those who have been variously called tramps, vagrants, itinerants, casuals, wayfarers, drifters, misfits, alcoholics, crude spirit drinkers, and ex-prisoners and mentally ill people are due to the prices and incomes policy.
Mr Reginald Sorensen: Is the Minister aware that the colonial peoples to whom reference is made come here as wayfarers or stowaways and often have no work to go to at all?
Sir Edward Keeling: ...will always be a very poor substitute for the publican we know, whose methods are derived by tradition, albeit unconsciously, perhaps subconsciously, from the ancient hospitality dispensed to wayfarers by manor or monastery. The two types are absolutely poles apart. What is the Bill for? There is no need for State ownership, because the trade is already subject to control from top to...
Mr Frank McLeavy: ...Casual Poor Assistance Committee, contained in their letter of 10th October; and will he give an assurance that an early conference will be called to discuss the increasing problem of destitute wayfarers, and that the Joint Vagrancy Committees will be given direct representation at such conference.
Mr Ernest Brown: ...before the second appointed day, but also to those transferred on that day from the local authorities. In addition, the Board has recently made arrangements with the Central Association for Young Wayfarers' Hostels, for the training of young unemployed men who are in danger of becoming casual vagrants. Other special schemes are under consideration.
Captain John McEwen: ...persons of this description formed a proportion so small as to be negligible. Reports from all His Majesty's prisons were to the same effect. In respect to the means to be taken to deal with these wayfarers, it must be borne in mind that they are different in England and Scotland, as are also the conditions governing them. In England, I believe, casual wards or lodging-houses are to be...
Mr Bracewell Smith: ...the national importance of the hotel industry, and the need for taking every possible step which will assist in raising the industry to a higher level, and improving the attractions of the hotel to wayfarers and foreign visitors. The Bill is a very simple one. In Clause 1, Sub-sections (2) and (3), the provisions under which these special licences shall be granted are laid down. The...
Sir George Newton: ...but, after a spell on the road, some of them begin to lose heart, and they then lose the self-respect which is so essential for regaining a position in society, until finally they become permanent wayfarers on the road. The many and varied systems of relief at present in operation tend to aggravate rather than to alleviate the vagrancy problem. Each institution tries to vie with its...
Major Goronwy Owen: 14. asked the Home Secretary the number of convictions, for the last year of which he has statistics, for sleeping out and similar offences, for larcenies by tramps or destitute wayfarers, for workhouse offences generally, and for offences connected with the casual wards, respectively?
Major Goronwy Owen: ...) Order, 1925, Regulation 7); and whether he will at once call for another survey like the last, and enforce the law where it provides for cleanliness and decent accommodation for the destitute wayfarers?
Mr George Lansbury: 63. asked the Minister of Health how many casuals, wayfarers, and tramps (men, women, and children) were admitted to casual wards and shelters in England and Wales during each week from 1st October, 1924, to 31st October, 1925, and the number of able-bodied men and women in receipt of Poor Law relief in the Metropolitan Poor Law union areas during each week from the first week in January this...
Miss Ellen Wilkinson: ...it should be retained or increased; and whether, before making such order, he consulted the medical women or his staff as to whether oakum picking was a suitable task for women who were destitute wayfarers?
