§ Mr. DAYasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that in many cases casual wards are seriously overcrowded, resulting in persons having to sleep on concrete floors without mattresses or bed-boards; what action his Department has taken for the purpose of alleviating the present position; and will he give particulars?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI would ask my hon. Friend to await the report of the committee which I appointed to inquire into the administration of the relief of the casual poor. The report deals with the matters to which he refers, and will be published very shortly.
