Poor Law Board’s Provisional Orders Confirmation Act 1869
8.101 The Poor Law Board’s Provisional Orders Confirmation Act 1869 105 was passed
to confirm three Provisional Orders made by the Poor Law Board pursuant to the
Poor Law Amendment Act 1867. One of these Orders has already been
revoked. 106 The Tunstead and Happing Incorporated Hundreds Order provided
for the relief of the poor in the areas of Tunstead and Happing in Norfolk and
became unnecessary with the ending of parish-based poor relief in 1930. The
Midhurst Union (Parish of Woolavington) Order altered the boundaries of
parishes in parts of West Sussex. The effect of this Order, so far as it has any
continuing utility, will be preserved by the saving provision in Schedule 2 to the
draft Bill. 107
Local Government Board’s Poor Law Provisional Orders Confirmation
(Oxford, etc) Act 1875
8.102 The Local Government Board’s Poor Law Provisional Orders Confirmation
(Oxford, etc) Act 1875 108 was passed to confirm three Provisional Orders made
by the Local Government Board pursuant to the Poor Law Amendment Act 1867.
Since all three Orders have already been revoked 109 and the remaining
provisions of the 1875 Act are obsolete, the formal repeal of the 1875 Act is now
proposed.
