§ 29. Mr. C. EDWARDSasked the Minister of Health whether he has seen the report of the meeting of the Cardiff Board of Guardians where concern was expressed at the number of cases of insanity reported for the month of May; whether he is aware that unemployment was given as the cause; will he order an investigation to be made; whether he is aware that only 181 single men out of 10,000 unemployed are in receipt of relief, and that no cases between the ages of 16 and 30 have been relieved no matter how great the hardship; and will he make inquiries into this matter?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Sir Kingsley Wood)My right hon. Friend has not seen any report containing such suggestions, nor has he received any complaint that the guardians are failing to discharge their duties in the relief of the poor. My right hen. Friend sees no reason for any special investigation.
