§ Major CHURCHasked the Minister of Health whether the Government propose, in view of the heavy financial burdens imposed on boards of guardians, to introduce legislation increasing the Exchequer grants in respect of pauper lunatics in asylums, and making provisions for new grants in respect of pauper lunatics, imbeciles, and epileptics maintained under the care of Poor Law authorities in accordance with the recommendations made by the Kempe Committee in 1914?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYI regret that I cannot give any undertaking as to the introduction of legislation for this purpose.
