HC Deb 18 May 1882 vol 269 cc951-2
MR. ANDERSON

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, If he is aware that the Committee of the Lanarkshire District Board of Lunacy has selected a site for a new asylum thirty-six miles distant from Glasgow, notwithstanding that a large proportion of the inmates will necessarily belong to Glasgow; and, whether, seeing that site will involve much cost in travelling, and both cost and inconvenience to friends visiting the inmates, he will have the matter reconsidered before the site is finally adopted?

SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT

, in reply, said, that he had received a communication this morning from the Board in Glasgow, in which they said they would postpone further measures with reference to the proposed site until other sites had been examined.
