SIR WALTER FOSTERI beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether children adopted by the guardians under the Poor Law Act, 1899, can be boarded out under the regulations of the Local Government Board.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. WALTER LONG,) Bristol, S.The children referred to in the question are not necessarily amongst those who can be boarded out by the guardians under the boarding-out Order. This can only be done where the children are orphan or deserted within the definition given by the Order.
