HC Deb 09 May 1898 vol 57 c676
MR. ENGLEDEW (Kildare, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the corrected figures he gave to the House on the 3rd instant of the servants and attendants who have left the Carlow District Lunatic Asylum since 1894 to the present date includes the five attendants who left that institution on the 30th April; and, if not, would he explain why these attendants were not included; and whether he will consider the desirability of devising some means of guarding against imperfect information being furnished to him, and through him to the House?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY TO THE LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND (Mr. GERALD W. BALFOUR,) Leeds, Central

The return from which I quoted on Tuesday last was brought down to the 26th April, and could not, consequently, have included the cases of attendants who left the asylum on the 30th April.
