§ MR. M'CARTANI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the congratulatory resolution, unanimously adopted by the Belfast Board of Guardians, in favour of the medical attendant who appealed against the interference of the Irish Local Government Board with reference to the power of the guardians to allow a certain number of holidays to the doctors to workhouses; and if the Local Government Board is considering the desirability of issuing circulars to the different boards of guardians upon the subject.
§ MR. G. W. BALFOURThe resolution referred to in the question does not appear on the minutes of the proceedings of the guardians. The Local Government Board have made no regulations on the subject of the holidays of medical officers of workhouses.
