HC Deb 03 March 1924 vol 170 cc965-6
39. Sir KINGSLEY WOOD

asked the Prime Minister whether, inasmuch as provisions of the Local Authorities (Emergency Provisions) Act, 1923, expire on 1st April next, he proposes to introduce any further legislation?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Mr. Greenwood)

I have been asked to reply. A Bill to extend the duration of the Local Authorities (Emergency Provisions) Act, 1923, was introduced last Friday.

Sir K. WOOD

Do the Government at any stage of the Bill propose to bring forward any suggestions whereby the funds contributed by the boards of guardians to feed and maintain inmates shall be further and more adequately secured?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The Bill has been printed.

Mr. SPEAKER

That question must be put down.
