Mr. W. A. JENKINSasked the Minister of Pensions if he will give definite instructions to all pensions officers and others concerned to notify boards of guardians, through their clerk, of any amounts of money paid to the guardians' collector or other officials in respect of the maintenance of any person or persons chargeable to such guardians or union?
§ Major TRYONI am not aware of any general desire on the part of boards of guardians for notifications of this character to be sent to clerks to the boards. I am, however, quite prepared to meet, in the manner most suitable, the object which, I infer, the hon. Member has in view, namely, that payments so made should be adequately secured to the guardians.
