HC Deb 28 November 1932 vol 272 c486W
Sir W. JENKINS

asked the Prime Minister if he will consider making a grant from the Exchequer, such as was made to the Lord Mayor's Fund, towards assisting distressed areas to provide boots for school children during this winter?

Sir H. YOUNG

I have been asked to reply. No, Sir; public assistance authorities have power when destitution exists to provide relief either in money or in kind.
