§ Mr. COOPERasked the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been drawn to the report of the inquest on Mrs. Emily Chapman, who was found unconscious in a train at Reading and sent to the Reading Workhouse; whether he is aware that the nurse at the workhouse said Mrs. Chapman was not seen by the medical officer until nine a.m. the next morning, as it was an ordinary -case of paralysis, and the master of the workhouse said, as Mrs. Chapman was seen at the station by a medical man, there was no need to send for the medical officer of the workhouse; whether he can say if Mrs. Chapman received any medical treatment, and on whose advice; and what does he mean to do in the matter?
§ Mr. BURNSI have seen a newspaper report of the inquest, and I am making inquiry on the subject to which it relates.
