HC Deb 19 June 1884 vol 289 cc812-3
MR. STANLEY LEIGHTON

asked the Vice President of the Committee of Council, Whether the following statement appears in the tabulated records of the Registrar General, relating to the death of the daughter of a glass packer on 1st June, at 82, Southam Street, Kensal Town, W.:— This is the second death in my practice within a week, the cause of which was produced from pressure at a Board School. (Signed) W. H. BORHAM, M.D.; and, whether he has any reasons to believe Dr. Borham's statement to be without foundation?

MR. MUNDELLA

I have had no Notice of this Question, which appeared for the first time on the Paper this morning. I should not venture to express any opinion on Dr. Borham's statement until the cases have been fully investigated and reported upon by the London School Board, to whom they have been referred.

MR. STANLEY LEIGHTON

Has it not been already inquired into by the right hon. Gentleman's Department?

MR. MUNDELLA

Some inquiry has been made; but the whole case has gone to the School Board for their investigation.
