HC Deb 31 July 1930 vol 242 cc688-9
36. Mr. HORRABIN

asked the Minister of Health when the report of the Commission on Vagrancy is to be issued; and whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction resulting from the delay in improving conditions in casual wards, particularly in rural areas?

41. Sir HENRY BETTERTON

asked the Minister of Health whether he has yet received the report of the committee appointed to inquire into the question of vagrancy; whether he proposes to publish the report; and what action he intends to take upon it?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The report has been laid and will be available shortly. I propose to address a circular letter in regard to it to the local authorities, and that letter also will be published in due course.
