The result was redirect to Poor relief. Unsourced, so source+merge as appropriate. Act for the Relief of the Poor 1601#Main points of the 1601 Act might also be a good target. czar 16:58, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced. Lacks background which would make the article useful. Poor law lasted several hundred years. Principles and policies changed during that time, but this article does not mention that, so it is misleading. Rathfelder (talk) 20:45, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to Poor law - given the lengths of article I am not sure how this is separate? Artw (talk) 21:06, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge as suggested. Bearian (talk) 02:19, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
