POOR LAW REFORM.
Local Government Bill Before Parliament. MAIN TASK OF SESSION. (British Official Wireless.) (Received 12 noon.)' RUGBY, November 26. The main legislative task of the present session of Parliament will be begun in the House of Commons this evening, when a debate on the second reading of the Local Government Reform Bill, which embodies the Government's proposals for the reform of the poor law and of the local rating system, will be opened. To-morrow and Wednesday have also been allotted for the debate, on which the division is expected about midnight on Wednesday. Although the result is not in doubt strong opposition to the oill, which is a complicated measure of 115 clauses and twelve schedules, is likely to be encountered. The Government hope to make substantial progress before the Christmas recess with the committee stage of the measure. Mr. Neville Chamberlain, Minister of Health, will move the second reading to-day and it is expected that his speech will be lengthy and reasoned. An Amendment for the rejection of the measure will be moved on behalf of the) Labour party.
