§ Colonel Lord HENRY CAVENDISH-BENTINCKasked the Secretary to the Local Government Board whether his attention has been called to a case of baby- 1810W farming in the Carmarthen district, in which a man and his wife were sentenced to five years' penal servitude for causing the death of a nurse-child, they having previously received other illegitimate children who also died; whether he will cause inquiry to be made as to the way in which that part of the Children Act dealing with infant life protection is administered in that district; and, if there be no woman visitor, whether he will recommend to the local board of guardians that one be immediately appointed?
§ Mr. BRACEMy right hon. Friend has asked me to reply to this question. The Home Office are aware of the facts of this case, and are already in correspondence with the board of guardians on the points mentioned by the Noble Lord.
