§ MR. SAMUEL SMITH (Flintshire)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board, whether he can inform the House how many pauper children were emigrated to Canada during 1898; and whether he can state which Boards had sent children, and how many each of such Boards had sent respectively, and also by which of the accredited agencies.
§ MR. T. W. RUSSELLSeventy-eight pauper children were emigrated to Canada in 1898, by 31 boards of guardians, through 10 agencies. If the honourable Member desires it I shall be happy to give him a statement as to the particular boards of guardians sending children and the agencies through whom they were sent.
