MR. T. F. RICHARDSI beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board if he will state in what cases his Board has exercised its power under subsection (2) of Section 2 of The Unemployed Workmen Act, 1905, by creating a distress committee in any county or part of a county where no application has been made by the local authority.
§ MR. JOHN BURNSUnder the provision referred to it would be necessary that a central body and distress committee should be established with similar constitutions to those of the central body and distress committees in London. There is no case in which this course has been adopted.
