§ Mr. HAMERSLEYasked the President of the Local Government Board whether he proposes to issue a similar Order as to the provision of out-door relief to the Order he published on the same subject about a year ago and intended issuing, but subsequently withdrew; and if he would agree to delay the issuing of any such Order as to out-relief until the next Session of Parliament, so that opportunity may be given to the House of Commons to consider the same?
§ The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Burns)I propose to issue shortly an Order on the subject of out-relief. The modifications of the Order proposed last year by the Departmental Committee are shown in a Paper I have recently circulated. I do not think it necessary to defer the issue of the Order as suggested.
