§ 32. Mr. LINDLEYasked the Minister of Health whether he will circularise the various boards of guardians requesting them not to press for repayment of relief in those cases in which the production of a medical certificate was made a condition for the granting of such relief?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe question of the action to be taken by the boards of guardians in the recovery of relief granted upon loan must obviously be determined in the light of the circumstances of the particular cases and I do not think that any useful purpose would be served by the issue of such a circular as is suggested.
§ Mr. LINDLEYIs the right hon. Gentleman aware of the extraordinary hardship on some of these people, who are unable to meet the payments, and will he give the matter his consideration?
