§ 43. Sir WALTER de FRECEasked the Minister of Health if there are any hoards of guardians in the country which have sent to him at any time proposals for the payment of full maintenance grants to those out of work and, if so, which are they?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI cannot trace any such proposals, but the guardians of Bethnal Green, Greenwich, Poplar and Shoreditch have informed me of their support of a resolution to the effect that the problem of unemployment should he dealt with at the expense of the Exchequer by the provision of useful work or adequate maintenance.
