HC Deb 17 July 1930 vol 241 c1489W
Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the Minister of Health whether he proposes to adopt the recommendation of the departmental committee set up to inquire into the administration of the existing casual ward system, that stonebreaking should only be allowed as a task after a special request to allow it has received the sanction of the Minister of Health?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The report to which the hon. Member refers has only recently been received, and is under consideration. I hope to publish it in due course, and until then I think it better not to announce what action I propose to take on any particular recommendation.
