HC Deb 05 December 1911 vol 32 c1375W
Mr. HUNT

asked the Lord Advocate if he will state how many of the guardians of boarded-out children in Iona are over seventy years of age; and how many of these guardians have one or more imbecile relations living in their cottages?

Mr. URE

One of these guardians is over seventy, and his wife is in the prime of life. Another, who is a woman, is about seventy, and has proved herself a competent guardian for thirty years. In neither cases are there imbeciles in the cottages.
