HC Deb 10 December 1934 vol 296 c33
51. Mr. THORNE

asked the Minister of Labour whether he has arrived at any definite agreement with the Hull Public Assistance Committee in connection with the paying of transitional payment; and if not, whether it is his intention to send down a commissioner to take full control?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of LABOUR (Mr. R. S. Hudson)

I received a deputation from the town council on Tuesday last and, as a result, it is hoped that it may not be necessary for a commissioner to take over the duties of the council in the administration of transitional payments. A further report is being called for.
