HC Deb 28 May 1924 vol 174 c434W
Mr. GROVES

asked the Minister of Health whether, in cases where the children of persons chargeable to the Poor Law union are bootless, and therefore likely to be kept from attendance at school, his Department lays down conditions precluding the guardians from granting suoh help as will enable the provision of relief to procure the boots necessary?

Mr. WHEATLEY

No, Sir. The necessity of keeping a careful check upon grants of this kind has been impressed upon the guardians, but no such condition as the hon. Member suggests has been laid down.
