HC Deb 04 August 1898 vol 64 cc95-6
CAPTAIN DONELAN

On behalf of the honourable Member for Mid Cork I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether any steps will be taken to improve the sanitary administration of the Ashton-in-Makerfield urban district, and whether the administration has been adversely reported upon; that the isolation hospital is too small, and wanting in accommodation for two diseases in both sexes; that there is no ambulance and no disinfecting apparatus; and what steps will he taken to remedy the alleged condition of affairs?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD

I have communicated with the local authority for the Ashton-in-Makerfield district, but have not yet received their reply. Perhaps the honourable Gentleman will repeat the Question on Monday.
