§ Mr. LYLEasked the Minister of Health whether it has been brought to his notice that boards of guardians are discussing whether single unemployed persons without dependants should continue to receive relief; and, seeing that there are lads of 16 and 17 in receipt of relief who will 1931W not seek work so long as they can receive unemployment pay, will he cause a detailed investigation to be made into the payments to these young men?
§ Sir A. MONDI think that most boards of guardians fully realise the difficulties of this question, but I will consider my hon. Friend's suggestion.
