HC Deb 14 July 1890 vol 346 c1591
SIR THOMAS ESMONDE (Dublin Co., S.)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether complaints have reached him that the St. Olave's Beard of Guardians only visit the workhouses under their care once a fortnight; and, if so, whether the Local Government Board will see that the order directing Guardians to visit such houses once a week is carried out in future by this Board?

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

I have not received any complaint as to the times when the workhouses of the St. Olave's Board of Guardians are visited by the Visiting Committee. I will communicate with the Guardians on the subject.
