HC Deb 10 May 1898 vol 57 c845
MR. ENGLEDEW (Kildare, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland why the boarding out system has not been applied to the Irish District Lunatic Asylums, seeing that it has been adopted with success in Scotland?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

There is no legal provision which would permit of the application of the boarding-out system to Irish asylums.
