HC Deb 12 July 1910 vol 19 c338W
Colonel RAWSON

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he would consider the advisability of issuing regulations to enable boards of guardians to detain feeble-minded females chargeable to them, as the absence of such power is a continual source of difficulty in dealing with this class of females?

Mr. BURNS

I can at the present time only refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for the Eddisbury Division of Cheshire on the 23rd ultimo.
