Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The series of laws passed between 1897 and 1911 in Great Britain aimed at helping the poor did have some impact, but they were not entirely successful. Despite these efforts, a significant portion of the poor population, about one-third, still did not receive any assistance. This indicates that while the laws were a step in the right direction, they were not comprehensive or effective enough to reach all those in need.
