§ Mr. THORNEasked the Minister of Health the list of questions for answer by the applicants for Poor Law relief in the county of Essex; and whether such questions were authorised by his Department or whether they were issued by the Essex Public Assistance Committee?
Sir H. YOUNGThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. As regards the second and third parts of the question, I have not prescribed any form of questions for obtaining the information required by a public assistance authority before considering applications for relief.
