HC Deb 09 June 1920 vol 130 c395
37. Mr. BRIANT

asked the Minister of Health if he will withhold his assent to any scheme of a board of guardians for the reorganisation of its institutions or services prior to the introduction of a measure dealing with the Poor Law system as a whole until he is satisfied that amicable arrangements have been made with the officers concerned; and if, in the event of the Poor Law officers suffering monetary loss owing to a transfer of a portion of their duties to other authorities or offices, he will satisfy himself that the guardians have made adequate compensation for such loss as may be sustained by them?
