§ MR. R. PEARCE (Staffordshire, Leek)To ask the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been called to the frequent recurrence of cases of ophthalmia, conjunctivis impetigo, and other preventible diseases at the public school at Rugby during some years past; and whether, by holding an inquiry or otherwise, ho will take steps to prevent danger to the public health by the spread of these disorders, usually arising from bad sanitary arrangements.
(Answered by Mr. John Burns.) I was not aware of the outbreaks referred to. I will communicate with the urban district council on the subject.
