§ 44. Mr. TINKERasked the Minister of Labour the number of public assistance committees his Department have communicated with in respect of their application of the means test; and will he say what has been the result?
Mr. HUDSONI am not clear what the hon. Member means. A great many points of detail with regard to administration have naturally arisen in all parts of the country, and I could not attempt to give any exhaustive list.
§ Mr. TINKERMay I take it that there are to be no communications with those authorities which are not carrying out the instructions or wishes of the Department?
Mr. HUDSONWe are in communication with the authorities which are not carrying out the letter and spirit of the Act.
§ Mr. TINKERDo these inquiries include any of the authorities where the percentage of dismissals or disallowances are very high?
