HC Deb 31 July 1930 vol 242 cc733-4W
Mr. McSHANE

asked the Minister of Health whether he is now in a position to make a statement in regard to test work in Walsall?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The council's proposals for a scheme under the Relief Regulation Order involve a variation of hours worked to correspond with the amount of relief. Such an arrangement was deprecated by the inspector in a conversation which he had several weeks ago with the clerk, and which had reference to the possibility of establishing a general scheme of work, training and instruction, such as had been in fact contemplated by the board of guardians. There was no insistence on any specified number of hours. The council s scheme is still under my consideration.
