MR. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Government intend to appoint a Select Committee to inquire into and report upon the working of the poor law system in the three Kingdoms with a view to reform and economy.

MR. WALTER LONG

No, Sir. The Government do not propose to appoint such a Committee.
