§ Sir G. HURSTasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the resolution passed by the Manchester Guardians in favour of excluding bounty 1738W given to ex-service men out of Poppy Day funds from computation of income when out-door relief is being allowed; and if he is prepared to sanction such recommendation?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. As regards the second part, I have no authority to release boards of guardians from their obligation to take into consideration, with certain statutory exceptions, all means or income available for the support of an applicant for relief and his dependants.
