§ SIR HARRY SAMUEL (Tower Hamlets, Limehouse)To ask the President of the Local Government Board whether the Local Government Board has decided to issue a general Order consequent upon the recommendation contained in the Report of the Departmental Committee upon the nursing of the sick poor in workhouses; if so, when such order will be issued and before such issue, for what Parliamentary period will the order be laid upon the Table of the House of Commons for its consideration.
(Answered by Mr. Walter Long.) This matter is receiving my attention with a view to the issue of an Order as early as practicable. It will not be necessary, however, that the Order should be land upon the Table of the House prior to its issue.
