§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware that although Nos. 19 and 28, Great George Square, Liverpool, are common emigrant lodging houses, neither house is on the register; and will he ascertain the reason for this omission.
THE SECRETARY TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. GRANT LAWSON,) Yorkshire, N.R., ThirskI have made inquiry as to this matter, and am informed that the houses referred to are not common emigrant lodging houses and are therefore not registered as common lodging-houses. No. 19 is the residence of Mr. A. R. Paynter, Emigration Agent for the American Line. At the rear of the house there is a hall in which the majority of his emigrants have their dinner. The house, however, is reserved exclusively for 2nd class passengers. No. 28 is the residence of Mr. I. Heilbron, Emigration Agent for the Canadian Line. None but 2nd class passengers are received into this house.
