HC Deb 13 December 1928 vol 223 c2319
26. Mr. LAWSON

asked the Minister of Health whether it is his intention to call for a report of their administration by the appointed guardians of Chesterle-Street for the six months ending June, 1928; and when the report will be published?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I do not propose to call for a further report in this matter. If the guardians submit such a report I will then consider the question of its publication.

Mr. LAWSON

Can the right hon. Gentleman explain the reluctance of the guardians to report upon this area, in view of the fact that they were in such a hurry to report upon the necessitous areas?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

It is not part of the regular duty of guardians to report.

Mr. PALING

These are not regular guardians.
