HC Deb 19 July 1927 vol 209 c232
69. Colonel DAY

asked the Minister of Health whether alternative and separate accommodation has been found by the Cardigan Board of Guardians for the children under 14 years of age who were living in the local institution contrary to the provisions of the Poor Law Institutions Order, 1913?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Sir Kingsley Wood)

No, Sir. The guardians, however, propose taking immediate steps for the provision of a separate home for children.

Colonel DAY

Did not the Ministry serve a notice on the guardians for the purpose of making them provide homes for these children outside the institution?

Sir K. WOOD

I do not think the hon. Gentleman can have heard the last part of my answer. I said that the guardians propose taking immediate steps for the provision of a separate home for children
