§ Mr. R. RICHARDSONasked the Minister of Health if he is aware that it is the habit of many Poor Law guardians to hand on the belongings of one asylum 1000W inmate to another on discharge, and to break up the effects of any inmate who has been more than three years under detention; and will he issue instructions to discontinue such a practice which bears very hardly upon the poor?
§ Sir K. WOODMy right hon. Friend is not aware of the existence of such a practice as is suggested and, as he has already informed the hon. Member, he will be glad to inquire into any particular case which the hon. Member has in mind.
