asked the Minister of Health the number of visiting committees appointed to visit the 282 children who are maintained in scattered homes by the West Ham Poor Law Commissioners; and how they are selected and appointed and from what part of the Poor Law Union they are selected?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Sir Kingsley Wood)

Four members of the West Ham Advisory Committee, which was appointed by my right hon. Friend, have been requested by the guardians of the West Ham Union to assist in the inspection of these children. None of these persons reside in or represent any part of the West Ham Union.
