§ Mr. STAVELEY-HILLasked the President of the Local Government Board whether, in the case of the deaths of children boarded out under the provisions of the Within Union Order of 31st December, 1909, under the supervision of a committee consisting of members of a board of guardians, in which case no agreement between the guardians and the committee is required, the funeral expenses of such children fall on the foster parents or should be discharged by the guardians?
§ Mr. BURNSThe undertaking which the foster parent has to enter into with the board of guardians does not include any obligation to defray funeral expenses. These expenses would ordinarily be discharged by the board of guardians.
