HC Deb 14 June 1934 vol 290 cc1909-10W
Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the ignorance which is prevalent as to the terms of Article 12 of the public assistance committees' code, which enables supplementary benefit to be obtained by individuals in receipt of transitional benefit, he will take steps to make the provisions of this section more generally known?

Sir H. YOUNG

I cannot identify the code to which my hon. Friend refers. The situation in regard to supplementation of transitional payment in cases of need is, I am advised, generally very well known in the local areas and I do not think any further notification on the matter is requisite.
