HC Deb 15 June 1931 vol 253 cc1449-50W
Mr. BECKETT

asked the Minister of Health whether he is now satisfied with the methods and rates of relief being paid by the London public assistance authorities?

Mr. GREENWOOD

As regards rates of relief, the position remains as indicated in my answer to my hon. Friend's question of the 26th February. As regards methods, I assume that my hon. Friend has primarily in mind the administration of outdoor relief to the able-bodied. I am in communication with the council on the application of the principles of the Regulations in force in certain aspects of their administration, and I could not properly express an unqualified opinion upon a developing scheme.
