HC Deb 14 April 1913 vol 51 c1632
69. Mr. W. THORNE

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he will provide in his new Poor Law Order that, in future, no clerk to the guardians and no relieving officer shall be coroner, registrar, or superintendent registrar of deaths, or clerk to the magistrates, or hold any other office connected with the administration of justice, registration of deaths, or prison management, and that no Poor Law medical officer shall also be a medical officer of a prison?

Mr. BURNS

As the Departmental Committee have not yet made their report, I cannot say what their proposals on this subject may be, but the hon. Member's suggestion will not be lost sight of by me.
