§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Local Government Board have received resolutions to the effect indicated. The Board do not admit that the Census Returns are, as a rule, untrustworthy. If they were untrustworthy the great majority of claims would have had no evidence to support them. I am not prepared to recommend the appointment of a special Commission, as suggested in the question.
