On accommodation, the committee heard that the houses were previously used as a storage facility for drying fruit but had later been converted as lodgings for workers. The houses were not suitably ventilated and were boiling hot in summer as a result thereof. The committee felt this needed the urgent attention of the employer as this could later lead to other related illnesses. In addition, the committee observed that although there were toilets and shower facilities, these were not well maintained and were unhygienic.
