HC Deb 14 May 1924 vol 173 c1387W
Mr. R. WILSON

asked the Minister of Health if he will consider the desirability of amending Section 1 (1) of the Poor Law Act, 1899, by substituting 21 years for 18 years as the limit of age of vesting parental powers in the guardians where the guardians consider that in the interest of the person with respect to whom a resolution of vesting is passed an extension of the age limit is necessary or desirable?

Mr. WHEATLEY

As at present advised, I am not aware of any sufficient ground for introducing legislation for this purpose.
