HC Deb 04 November 1908 vol 195 c1224
MR. W. THORNE (West Ham, S.)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board on what date the circular was sent out to the various distress committees informing them that the Poor Law relief and the two years' successive work disqualification under the Unemployed Workmen's Act have been removed.

MR. JOHN BURNS

An Order is necessary for the purpose of altering the Regulations in this respect. The Order is in preparation, and will very shortly be issued.
