§ MR. O'GRADY (Leeds, E.)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been called to the action of the attendants at the Menston Asylum, Leeds, in their treatment of the inmates; and whether, in view of the local opinion upon the matter, and as an act of fairness to the Officials, a public inquiry will be granted.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Gladstone, Leeds, W.)I beg to answer this Question on behalf of my right hon. friend. I have received some communications on this subject and am now making inquiries into the matter. At present I have no information upon which I could answer the last part of the Question.
