§ 62. Sir CHARLES OMANasked the Minister of Health whether he will consider the amendment of Section 44 (2) of the Poor Law Act, 1930, which directs that a casual shall not be entitled to discharge himself until the fourth day after his admission from a casual ward if he has been admitted during the last month 2048 into any other casual ward of the same county; and, unless and until some amendment is made, will he make an order directing that a casual detained for more than three days in the same ward should be provided with more than the normal minimum allowance of food on the one-day scale for each day of his supplemental detention?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on this point to the hon. Member for Darlington (Mr. Shepherd) on the 8th instant, a copy of which I am sending to him.
