§ Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALDasked the Prime Minister whether he would give the House the assurance that the Order concerning out-door relief proposed to be issued by the Local Government Board should not be so issued until the House had had an opportunity of examining and, if necessary, criticising the provisions?
§ The PRIME MINISTERMy right hon. Friend proposes to introduce certain Amendments to the Order in question, which he has explained in a Paper which is being circulated to-day. When these Amendments have been considered it is hoped that they will be found to meet all such criticisms as have been made upon the Order, which can, of course, at any time be amended.
