Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Break-Up of the Poor Law: Being Part One of the Minority Report of the Poor Law Commission The Poor Law Commission of 1905-9 can hardly fail to be epoch-making in the history of the English Poor Law. For what we believe is the first time since 1834, a public inquiry into the Poor Law has ended without paying even lip-homage to the "principles of 1834." A Royal Commission of eighteen members, including half-a-dozen members of the Charity Organisation Society, half-a-dozen Guardians or ex-Guardians, and four official representatives of the Local Government Boards of England, Scotland and Ireland, has unanimously recommended "a clean sweep" of the English Poor Law and Poor Law organisation, together with all its most characteristic principles. Although the Majority Report is flanked by half-a-dozen dissents - of which the longest is here republished - the members of the Commission are remarkable in the extent of their revolutionary unanimity.
