§ 59. Mr. BROADasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the Woodstock guardians sent casual vagrants three miles to exchange bread tickets for bread, although there are bakers' shops within a quarter of a mile; and whether he will take steps to put an end to this practice?
§ Sir K. WOODMy right hon. Friend understands that the hon. Member is referring to the tickets given to casuals entitling them to a mid-day meal on presentation at a bread station on their way from one casual ward to another. Such a station would naturally be at least three miles from a casual ward.
