HC Deb 13 July 1900 vol 85 cc1465-6
MR. FLOWER

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board if he can state what proposals of boards of guardians for disposing of the children on the dissolution of the Sutton Schools he has sanctioned, and is willing to sanction.

MR. T. W. RUSSELL

The Camberwell guardians are proposing to provide for the children belonging to their parish by the provision of scattered homes. The Local Government Board have approved of the hiring of twenty-two houses by them for this purpose, and of the purchase of a site for central headquarters. The Board have authorised the guardians of the four other poor-law unions in the district to acquire sites for the erection of schools, either on the cottage home system, or partly in cottage homes and partly in blocks, to accommodate not more than sixty children each.
