HC Deb 05 May 1920 vol 128 c2067
63. Mr. MURRAY MACDONALD

asked the Minister of Health whether he proposes to circularise boards of guardians with regard to the removal of restrictions on the amount which they may pay for the boarding-out of children; and, if so, why consent to pay 10s. per week per child has recently been refused to the Forden, Barnet, and other boards of guardians?

Dr. ADDISON

Yes, Sir. Since the cases referred to in the last part of the question were dealt with, I have decided to remove the restrictions on the amount payable for the maintenance of boarded-out children, and a circular letter to this effect was issued yesterday.
