§ MR. DELANYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Irish Local Government Board is willing to adopt the Order issued by the President of the English Local Government Board, dated April 26th, 1905, and addressed to the several Poor Law Unions in England and Wales, making provision for the supply of necessary food to underfed children attending elementary schools, in view of the extent to which poverty exists in Ireland.
§ MR. WALTER LONGThe Local Government Board are advised that they have no power under the Irish Poor Law to make such an Order. The legal question will be referred to the law officers for advice.
