§ Mr. LANSBURYasked the President of the Local Government Board, if his attention had been called to the charges made against the master of Brighton Workhouse by a Poor Law officer named James Pigeon when charged at the police court for stealing from the workhouse; and if he purposes to instruct one of his inspectors to investigate the charges by means of a public inquiry into the administration of the workhouse?
§ Mr. BURNSMy attention has been called to this matter, and investigation has already been made by my officers. It is still under my consideration.
