HC Deb 23 March 1911 vol 23 cc779-80W
Sir CLEMENT KINLOCH-COOKE

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he will consider the possibility of so amending the Poor Law as to make it legal for boards of guardians to contribute to the support of children now chargeable to the State, and classed as orphans or deserted, in the British possessions oversea?

Mr. BURNS

I should doubt the expediency of amending the law in the direction indicated by the hon. Member.
