§ Mr. DAYasked the Minister of Health which boards of guardians at the present time are insisting upon lest work being done by unemployed men as a condition of outdoor relief; and can he give particulars of any regulations that have been issued by the Ministry of Health on this subject during the previous six months?
§ Mr. GREENWOODAs regards the first part of the question, some form of work, whether provided by the guardians themselves or by arrangement with the local authority, is required of able-bodied recipients of relief in 208 out of 631 unions. It should be understood, however, that in many of these unions the requirement could only apply to a small proportion of the applicants. As regards the second part of the question, no regulations have been made on this subject by 1381W my Department since the Relief Regulation Order, 1911.
