HC Deb 06 August 1861 vol 164 cc1894-5
MR. COBBETT

said, he rose to ask the President of the Poor Law Board, Whether he is aware of any applications having been made by Master Manufacturers of the Northern and Midland Districts to Boards of Guardians of London to send parish poor children as apprentices into such districts?

SIR GEORGE GREY

said, he had made inquiry at the Poor Law Board, and found that communications had been received on the subject. The correspondence relating to it was now in print, and would, in conjunction with some Returns with respect to it, which had been moved for in the other House of Parliament, be published in the course of a few days.
