HC Deb 20 February 1930 vol 235 cc1591-2W
Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the Minister of Health the principles which should govern local authorities in the imposition of test work?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to a question on the 7th November last in which I indicated what I think are the broad principles in this matter.

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the Minister of Health in how many cases in the past 12 months officers of his Department have urged local authorities to be less lenient in the conditions of test work?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The principles upon which the officers of my Department have acted are those indicated in the reply I made on 7th November last to the right hon. Member for West Woolwich (Sir K. Wood); I cannot, of course, say how often or on what occasion my officers may have had to give advice with regard to the application of these principles.
