HC Deb 13 November 1902 vol 114 c878
MR. TULLY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state on what grounds the Local Government Board issued a sealed order prohibiting the election of dispensary doctors as county councillors; why was this order cancelled and a new sealed order issued declaring that no county councillor shall be qualified to be or continue as a poor law medical officer.

MR. WYNDHAM

Both orders were made by the Board in the interests of the sick and destitute poor. The first order was rescinded in order to substitute the second, which secures the same object in a more correct manner.
