HC Deb 15 December 1919 vol 123 c70W
Major NALL

asked the Minister of Health what relief Poor Law guardians are at present authorised to grant to unemployed workpeople; and what is the maximum amount in money which may be granted respectively to single and married persons?

Dr. ADDISON

It is the duty of a board of guardians to give adequate assistance in any case relieved by them, and there is no prescribed maximum.
