§ 60. Sir W. de FRECEasked the Minister of Health the policy of his Department with regard to the suggestion of boards of guardians that they should be allowed a small sum for refreshments; and, if such is permitted, whether he will sanction the sum of 2s. per head?
§ Sir A. MONDThere is no legal authority for the payment out of the Poor Rate of the cost of meals supplied to members of a board of guardians. But meals are sometimes supplied to guardians during their attendance at their institutions, and there is no objection to this, if they repay the cost.
