§ SIR C. W. DILKE (Gloucester, Forest of Dean)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether the list purporting to contain the names of the Committee appointed by the Local Government Board to inquire into the management of pauper schools, published this morning, is correct?
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. SHAW-LEFEVRE, Bradford, Central)The list in the papers to-day is correct as far as it goes, but it is not complete. It will, therefore, be convenient if I state all the names of the Committee. They are:—Mr. Mundella (Chairman), Sir John Gorst, Mr. Lyulph Stanley, Mrs. Barnett (wife of Canon Barnett), Rev. Brook Lambert (Rector of Greenwich), Dr. Russell Reynolds (President of the Royal College of Physicians), and Mr. W. Vallance (clerk of the Whitechapel 422 Board of Guardians). The following are the terms of Reference:—
To inquire into the existing systems for the maintenance and education of children under the charge of Managers of District Schools and Boards of Guardians in the Metropolis, and to advise as to any changes that may be desirable.
