§ MR. E. H. PICKERSGILL (Bethnal Green, S.W.)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether, in the Darenth Asylum of the Metropolitan Asylums Board, there are about 300 children who are feeble-minded, but not imbecile, and are now receiving education; whether all these children are legally paupers; and is it his intention to remove these 300 children from the care of the Metropolitan Asylums Board to that of the proposed Children's Asylums Board; and, if so, how will he effect the transfer?
§ MR. T. W. RUSSELLI am informed that there are no children at the Darenth Asylum who are feeble-minded but not imbecile. The children at the asylum are legally paupers. It is not, the intention to remove the children from the Darenth Asylum.
