§ 88. Mr. MORRELLasked the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been called to the distress now existing in Lancashire in consequence of short time and unemployment; and whether the Government propose to appoint any person to represent Lancashire upon the Committee of the National Relief Fund?
