HC Deb 02 April 1903 vol 120 cc893-4
MR. FLOWER

To ask the President of the Local Government Board whether the Holly Mount, Tottington, Poor Law School has been re-certified; and, if so, will he state what changes, if any, have been made in the management of the school since the certificate was withdrawn. † See page 682. (Answered by Mr. Walter Long.) The answer to the first part of the Question is in the affirmative. The schools have been placed under the management of a committee of seven, and the staff has undergone considerable changes. The mother superior, the general mistress, and the head schoolmistress, as well as a majority of the sisters, are English. Moreover, the dietary has been improved. Before granting the new certificate I imposed certain conditions as to the conduct of the schools to which the managers agreed.
