§ LORD EDMUND TALBOT (Sussex, Chichester)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether, in November 1881, the Local Government Board decided that the boarding-out Orders did not refer only to children boarded out by the guardians from the workhouse, but whenever the guardians granted out-relief to a child living with a person not legally liable for its support, that that child would come under the said Orders?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. T. W. RUSSELL,) Tyrone, S.There appears to be no doubt that the Local Government Board expressed the opinion, as stated in the Question, with reference to the effect of the Order issued in 1877 as to boarding out; but, as there was some doubt on the subject, the Order subsequently issued in 1889 was in consequence somewhat differently worded as regards this matter.
