HC Deb 28 May 1924 vol 174 c413
43. Lieut.-Colonel WOODWARK

asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider the amendment of Section 1 (1) of the Poor Law Act, 1899, by substituting 21 years for 18 years as the limit of age of vesting of parental powers in the guardians where the guardians consider that, in the interests of the person with respect to whom a resolution of vesting is passed, the extension of the age limit is necessary or desirable?

Mr. WHEATLEY

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply which I gave on the 21st May in answer to the hon. Member for Ipswich.
