§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAasked the Minister of Health whether a large number of specific charges have been brought to his notice with regard to the breach of Poor Law Regulations which have been repeated publicly, and have not been challenged or denied by those concerned; whether he will cause an inquiry to be made in the matter; and what will be the nature of such inquiry?
§ Sir K. WOODIt is impossible to investigate charges of this kind, however specific they may be unless they are made in relation to specified institutions or individuals. Any charges which are capable of investigation are made the subject of inquiry through my right hon. Friend's Department. The exact nature of the inquiry would depend in each case upon the particulars of the charge and the circumstances surrounding it.
