HC Deb 05 November 1929 vol 231 c858W
Mr. GOULD

asked the Minister of Health whether he has received representation respecting the payment of Poor Law relief to disabled ex-service men; if he can give information as to the number of such cases; and what steps he proposes to take to ensure that bona, fide disabled ex-service men shall not be forced to become a burden on the local rates?

Miss LAWRENCE

As regards the second part of the question, my right hon. Friend regrets that he has no information as to the number of such cases. As regards the other parts of the question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave yesterday to the hon. and gallant Member for Tavistock.
