HC Deb 13 April 1905 vol 145 c49
MR. LAYLAND-BARRATT

To ask the President of the Local Government Board whether, when the council of a borough has unanimously approved of the demand note for the poor rate showing in addition to the legal form of demand particulars of the amounts required for specific purposes, including that of education, the Loral Government Board would in any way depart from their custom of not interfering to prevent this being done by those responsible for the collection of the poor rate.

(Answered by Mr. Gerald Balfour.) I do not think that I can undertake to say what course the Local Government Board would take in any particular case where the demand note used does not follow the prescribed form.
