§ LORD STANLEY OF ALDERLEY, in asking the Lord President of the Council, Whether he intends to institute an inquiry into the causes of the death of a child named Harriet Straker, of Great Warford, from alleged over-pressure at school? said, that he would not have troubled the noble Lord for a single death only; but he was constrained to do so in this case, as the child's parents were neighbours of his, and the Macclesfield Sanitary Authority had written to him respecting it.
§ LORD CARLINGFORD (LORD PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL), in reply, said, that the Education Department had written to the manager of the school requesting him to give his view of the case, and when it was obtained it would be at the disposal of the noble Lord, and the Department would consider whether any further inquiry would be necessary.
