The Divided Parishes and Poor Law Amendment Act 1882 was an important law passed in Britain. It gave the Local Government Board more power. This board was a government department that looked after local issues.
The Act allowed the Local Government Board to change how poor law unions were set up. Poor law unions were areas where local councils worked together to help people in need. This often involved providing support through workhouses.
