Sterling Exchange Rate (27 Sep 1949)

Mrs Mabel Ridealgh: Listening to speeches from the other side of the House, I feel that there has been a refusal to acknowledge the drastic economic position which faced this country at the end of the war. As I listened to the hon. Member for Scarborough and Whitby (Mr. Spearman), criticising the hon. Member for Gateshead (Mr. Zilliacus), who suggested that America was causing our troubles here, there ran...

Sterling Exchange Rate (27 Sep 1949)

Mrs Mabel Ridealgh: Higher wages have been introduced since the war, with shorter hours and better conditions, and added to that has been the wide and extended range of the social services. Not one of us, if we have a spark of decency in us, would want to go back to those days before the war when we had an average of nearly two million unemployed, when we had low wages and when one-third of our people were...

Housing, Ilford (13 May 1949)

Mrs Mabel Ridealgh: I am grateful for this opportunity of speaking on behalf of my constituents who have such urgent housing problems. I do not think there is an area in the country where the position is worse and where the prospects of rehousing are so tragic and so hopeless. When I say that in 1945 the population of Ilford was 143,825 and today it is 184,680, the terrific problem in the Ilford area can be...

Housing, Ilford (13 May 1949)

Mrs Mabel Ridealgh: My suggestion was for temporary houses. I realise that we cannot allow this sprawling to go on all over the country. That was my idea in suggesting, say, 2,000 temporary houses, because surely within 10 years we should be able to find places for those people. It is now that those people have got to be housed; they cannot wait 10 years before they are housed.

Housing, Ilford (13 May 1949)

Mrs Mabel Ridealgh: Is the Minister aware that these cases are still arising and that complaints from my constituents are still being received? I have received a letter today giving three cases where the dentist has refused emergency treatment. Will not he do as I ask so that it may have some salutory effect upon dentists who are not carrying out their responsibility?

Mrs Mabel Ridealgh: They always did.

Orders of the Day — War Damage (Amendment) Bill (18 Mar 1949)

Mrs Mabel Ridealgh: It is usual when speaking on a Bill to declare one's interest, especially when it is a monetary interest. I wish to stress my interest as the representative of a much damaged borough. Ilford received many bombs and more V.2'sthe most feared bomb—than any other area in the country. Out of 45,000 houses in Ilford, 40,000 were damaged. The purpose of this little Bill is to do justice to such...

Orders of the Day — Analgesia in Childbirth Bill ( 4 Mar 1949)

Mrs Mabel Ridealgh: It gives me great pleasure to be able to support this Bill. One thing that concerns me is the matter mentioned by my hon. Friend the Member for Epping (Mrs. Manning) regarding the apathy shown to the sufferings of women. Last week these benches were nearly full because of the sufferings of animals. Today they are practically empty when the subject concerns the sufferings of women. Members...

Orders of the Day — Landlord and Tenant (Rent Control) Bill: Clause 14. — (Short Title, Interpretation and Extent.) (16 Feb 1949)

At the rate of re-housing in Ilford the most that can be given accommodation by the end of 1950 is about 3,000. I hope he will resist this Amendment so that the other 22,000 will have some protection.

Mrs Mabel Ridealgh: asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will reconsider the decision made on 10th December in respect of the case of which the hon. Member for North Ilford has already written to him; and whether, in view of the suffering caused to the mother involved, of the likelihood that the father's conduct will qualify him for leave in January under the Special Grade, and of the...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prisons: Borstal (Parole Application) (16 Dec 1948)

Mrs Mabel Ridealgh: Will the Home Secretary take into consideration that this young man gave 4½ years' faithful naval service in foreign waters and was wounded during the course of it, and that it was only panic at the realisation that he had wronged his fiancee which made him commit the crime for which he is now suffering punishment? Is the Home Secretary aware that the doctor is gravely disturbed at the...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prisons: Borstal (Parole Application) (16 Dec 1948)
