HC Deb 24 March 1920 vol 127 cc399-400
39. Mr. LUNN

asked the Minister of Health whether the Government has accepted the recommendations with regard to the Poor Law, which were made by the committee which inquired into this subject in 1917, and when a Bill giving effect to these recommendations will be introduced?

Dr. ADDISON

As I have previously stated, the Government have accepted the principle on which the recommendations of the Committee were based, but I am not yet in a position to say when the necessary legislation will be introduced.

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

Is it likely to be this Session?

Dr. ADDISON

I hope so.
