HC Deb 15 September 1893 vol 17 cc1288-9
MR. POWELL WILLIAMS

In the absence of the hon. Member for North St. Pancras, I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he will have the Poor Law Commissioners' First Report of 1834 reprinted in a convenient form and circulated amongst Members of the House, and sold to the public at a cheap price, as such Report contains valuable information on important questions now very much discussed in the country?

MR. H. H. FOWLER

The Report referred to was reprinted and issued as a Parliamentary Paper in 1885, at the price of 2s. 5d.

MR. POWELL WILLIAMS

I understand that it is out of print.

MR. H. H. FOWLER

That is not asked in the question. I have reason to believe there are plenty of copies, but I will inquire.
