HC Deb 04 July 1890 vol 346 c794
MR. CUNINGHAME GRAHAM (Lanark, N. W.)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board as to the death by starvation of Elizabeth Barret, and the verdict before Coroner Baxter, at the Vestry Hall, Mile End, E., a week ago, if his attention has been called to the circumstance; and if will advise the relaxation of the rule as to outdoor relief?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. RITCHIE, Tower Hamlets, St. George's)

I am at present engaged in making inquiry.
