HC Deb 31 July 1922 vol 157 cc1034-5W
Mr. W. THORNE

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that a conference was called by the Neath Board of Guardians of representatives from adjoining local authorities, and held on Monday, to consider ways and means of urging authorities to provide relief work to meet unemployment; whether an application has been received from the Neath Board of Guardians for a grant to undertake relief works for the coming winter; and if he will take action in the matter?

Sir A. MOND

I am aware that a conference was called by these guardians, but I have not as yet received from them any application of the kind suggested.
