HC Deb 07 December 1925 vol 189 c60W
Mr. CAMPBELL

asked the Minister of Health whether, seeing that under the Widows, Orphans and Old Age Contributory Pensions Act, allowances to orphans will be paid to institutions, and in view of the possibility that the effect of these new proposals will be to withdraw such children from institutions, he will say whether any supervision will be exercised in such cases to ensure that the care of children will be at least as effective outside as inside such institutions?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I do not think that I can undertake to adopt the hon. Member's suggestion. I have no reason to suppose that the children in question would not be cared for properly at home, and consequently I feel that it would be invidious to subject them to special supervision.
