HC Deb 01 May 1911 vol 25 cc175-6W
Mr. HOUSTON

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he will shortly introduce legislative measures of an industrial, reformatory, or penal character, to deal with lazy able-bodied men who refuse to work and maintain them- selves, their wives, and families, to compel them to do so?

Mr. BURNS

I am not in a position to announce legislation answering the description given in the hon. Member's question.
