§ 63. Mr. ROBERT HARCOURTasked the Prime Minister whether the Government intend to leave to the Unionist party the task of legislating in regard to the Reports of the Poor Law Commission, or whether he adheres to his reply to a question on the 3rd May, 1911, that in spite of the legislation already passed and projected by the Government dealing with old age pensions, Labour Exchanges, land and housing reform, and insurance against sickness, invalidity, and unemployment by which the character of the problems remaining to be dealt with has been modified, the necessity for Poor Law legislation has, in the opinion of the Government, not been removed?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe opinion of the Government, which was contained in the reply which I gave on 3rd May, 1911, and which my hon. Friend quotes, has in no way been modified.
