HC Deb 19 November 1925 vol 188 c581
70. Mr. NAYLOR

asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider the advisability of introducing a Bill to remove the anomaly existing under the provisions of Section 46 (1) (b) of the Local Government Act, 1894, whereby members of boards of guardians and borough councils are disqualified from office owing to their entering or a member of their family entering a Poor Law hospital, notwithstanding that the full cost of maintenance is paid for the whole period of chargeability?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I cannot see my way to introduce a Bill for this purpose at the present time.
