HC Deb 15 May 1930 vol 238 c2047
60. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Minister of Health what action he has taken with regard to the deputation recently received of the parliamentary committee of the Co-operative Union, with reference to the action of certain Poor Law authorities in insisting on dividends on out-relief vouchers issued by co-operative societies being paid to such Poor Law authorities?

Mr. GREENWOOD

My discussions with the Committee related to the legal position. It is not a matter in which action on my part arises.

Sir K. WOOD

Is it a fact that the right hon. Gentleman has told them he is not able to do anything for them, although he promised a great deal in days gone by?

Mr. JAMES GARDNER

Will the right hon. Gentleman tell us what he did while he was in charge?
