HC Deb 08 March 1911 vol 22 c1357W
Mr. FIELD

asked the Chief Secretary whether he will consider the advisability of repealing Section 1 of the Pauper Children (Ireland) Act, 1902, forbidding the boarding-out of anyone but orphans and deserted children; whether he is aware that this rule does not exist in England, Scotland, or Wales; and whether he has received a resolution on this subject from the South Dublin union?

Mr. BIRRELL

The resolution referred to has been received. I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to a similar question asked on 21st February by the hon. Member for East Waterford.
