§ Sir WILLIAM COLLINSasked the President of the Local Government Board whether, in view of the large aggregate mortality from measles and whooping cough in London, he would be prepared to approve of the utilisation of such hospitals of the Metropolitan Asylums Board as may not be required for notifiable diseases for the voluntary admission and treatment of children suffering from measles and whooping cough?

§ Mr. BURNSThe question of the practicability of utilising the spare accommodation in the institutions under the control of the managers of the Metropolitan Asylum District for diseases other than those with which they are at present empowered to deal is under consideration, and I understand that a proposal on the subject is coming before the managers at their next meeting. I shall not lose sight of the matter.
