Mrs. Chalker
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he remains satisfied with his powers to safeguard the rights of local authorities' employees, in the light of non-payment by Tower Hamlets of employees currently at work who are thus ineligible for assistance from the Department of Health and Social Security.
