HC Deb 04 March 1940 vol 358 c60

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill."

4.35 p.m.

Mr. Bevan

Is it intended to take over any large number of officers from the public assistance authorities until the Board have first found out whether a reduction of their work in the months of the war will make it unnecessary to do so?

Mr. Elliot

There is a number of Amendments on Clause 17, which, I understand, are not to be moved at this stage, but which will offer an opportunity of discussing that point.

Question, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill," put, and agreed to.

Clause 15 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
