HC Deb 16 February 1912 vol 34 c270W
Colonel WARDE

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether, owing to the inadequacy of the present grant to boards of guardians under Section 26 of the Local Government Act, 1888, he will take steps to provide for a more equitable adjustment of the grant based on present expenditure?

Mr. BURNS

The whole question of grants from Imperial to local taxation is now under the consideration of the Departmental Committee on Local Taxation.
