§ Lord CHARLES BERESFORDasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that for a considerable period the Portsmouth Board of Guardians have been doing what is now recognised in the National Insurance Act by way of provision of sanatoria; and whether the Portsmouth guardians may receive a portion of the money which is being allocated for such provision?
§ Mr. MASTERMANSection 16 of the Act precludes insurance committees from making arrangements with Poor Law guardians, and in consequence it is not proposed to make Grants under Section 64 to those bodies.
