HC Deb 12 February 1866 vol 181 c345
VISCOUNT CRANBOURNE

asked the President of the Poor Law Board, Whether it is his intention to introduce any measure for more effectually securing the execution of the Laws relating to the Poor in the Metropolis?

MR. C. P. VILLIERS

In answer to the inquiry of the noble Lord, I beg to say that it is my intention to introduce a measure for more effectually securing the execution of the laws relating to the relief of the poor in the metropolis, and that this measure will be substantially based on the Report of the Select Committee appointed by the last Parliament to inquire into this matter.
