HC Deb 24 April 1896 vol 39 c1639
MR. MURNAGHAN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant off Ireland, if he is aware that a very general desire exists among those interested in the welfare of the destitute poor in Ireland that a scheme of classification of the inmates of workhouses should be provided for; and will he consider this phase of the subject with a view to give it effect in the Bill for the Amalgation of Poor Law Unions in Ireland?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

One of the chief objects of the Poor Relief Bill is to enable a better system of classification to be adopted for all classes of indoor poor in Ireland.
