HC Deb 14 July 1914 vol 64 c1712
78. Mr. W. THORNE

asked the President of the Local Government Board if his attention has been called to the new law now in operation in Denmark which received the Danish Royal Assent on the 29th April, 1913, the principle of which is national assistance for widows in the task of bringing up healthy children for the nation; and if he will bring in a Bill to carry out the same objects?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

I have received a resolution from the West Ham Guardians drawing my attention to the enactment in question. I am not in a position to make any promise of legislation on the subject.
