HC Deb 29 July 1926 vol 198 c2352W
Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Minister of Health whether, seeing that when the workhouse is full it is the duty of the guardians to grant out-relief to destitute persons, he can state the number of persons which have been considered the maxima allowed for the workhouses at Bolton and Lichfield, respectively; and when these standards were laid down?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I am not aware than any standard of maximum accommodation has been laid down for these institutions, but I will ask the clerks to the guardians to supply the information which the hon. Member desires.
