HC Deb 05 June 1930 vol 239 c2375
55. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Minister of Health whether he is now in a position to make a full statement of his policy as to the tasks of casuals in relation to stone-breaking and stone-shifting?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I am awaiting the report of the Departmental Committee which I appointed in September last to consider the administration of the laws relating to the relief of the casual poor. I understand the report will be made in the near future.

Sir K. WOOD

As, in the meantime, stone-breaking is going on, why does not the right hon. Gentleman take power to stop it?

Mr. T. WILLIAMS

HON. MEMBERS

Answer!

Mr. SPEAKER

It seems to me that the question has been fully answered.
