HC Deb 19 November 1936 vol 317 cc1930-1W
Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the Minister of Health whether he will introduce legislation to amend Section 14 (1) of the Poor Law Act, 1930, by eliminating the liability of a grandfather and a grandmother for the maintenance of their grandchildren?

Mr. R. S. HUDSON

My right hon. Friend cannot say more than that the amendment desired by the hon. Member will receive careful consideration in connection with any general revision of the Poor Law which may be undertaken in the future.
