HC Deb 18 December 1928 vol 223 c2814
72. Mr. R. MORRISON

asked the Minister of Health whether it is upon representations from his Department that the Edmonton Board of Guardians are refusing to grant out-door relief to single men?

Sir K. WOOD

My right hon. Friend understands that the general policy of the guardians in this matter was settled so lone ago as 1921 and has not since been altered.

74. Mr. WELLOCK

asked the Minister of Health whether any and, if so, how many of the able-bodied men, single and married, who have received out-door relief from the Bridgend and Pontypridd Guardians, respectively, during October last have performed tasks as a condition of such relief; and, if so, of what nature?

Sir K. WOOD

My right hon. Friend is informed that in the Bridgend and Cowbridge Union six single and 33 married able-bodied men relieved during October were required to perform test work on the roads as a condition of the receipt of relief. There were no such cases in the Pontypridd Union.
