relief was a public responsibility that should be organised by central government
there should be a government minister responsible for, for example, keeping statistics and inspecting workhouses
all outdoor relief should be abolished, and relief only given to those prepared to enter a workhouse, hwere conditions would be no better than those enjoyed by the poorest labourer outside the workhouse
there should be no discrimination between 'deserving' and 'undeserving' poor. There were only the destitute, without the means of support and so worthy of relief
