§ MR. GULLAND (Dumfries Burghs)To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he can say how many local authorities in England and Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, have appointed special inspectors under The Infant Life Protection Act, 1897, and how many have not; how many cases have been registered in each year since the passing of the Act; and, if he cannot at once give this information, whether he will grant a Return.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Gladstone.) I have not got this information, but I shall be glad to obtain it and give it as a Return. I will communicate with my hon. friend as to the form the Return should take.
