The Board of Guardians (Default) Act 1926 was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed on 15 July 1926 which allowed the Minister of Health to reconstitute a board of guardians if he considered that the board of guardians was not properly performing its functions. The act allowed for boards of guardians to be replaced by government officials.
Section 2(1) of the act provided that the act may be cited as the Board of Guardians (Default) Act 1926.
Section 2(2) of the act provided that the act would not extend to Ireland.
The whole act was repealed by section 245(1) of, and the eleventh schedule to, Poor Law Act 1927 (17 & 18 Geo. 5. c. 14).
