§ 36. Mr. LOWTHasked the Minister of Health whether, in view of there having been only two dissentient boards of guardians in the area, he will reconsider his refusal to sanction a proposal submitted by the North-Western Voluntary Vagrancy Committee last July, under the Casual Poor (Relief) Order, 1925, that the ordinary house dinner be supplied to casuals when detained?
§ Sir K. WOODThe dietary of casuals was carefully considered before the Casual Poor (Relief) Order, 1925, was issued, and my right hon. Friend attaches importance to uniform compliance with the dietary prescribed therein. He is, however, prepared to consider any further representations which the North-Western Joint Vagrancy Committee may desire to submit to him.
§ 38. Mr. LOWTHasked the Minister of Health whether he can give a list of casual wards closed in the area of the North-Western Joint. Vagrancy Committee?
§ Sir K. WOODComplete information is being obtained, and will be forwarded to the hon. Member.
