HC Deb 20 November 1912 vol 44 c306W
Mr. MORRELL

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he can give particulars of the draft Order relating to the management of Poor Law institutions, which has recently been prepared by a Departmental Committee; and whether this House will have an opportunity of discussing the matter before the Order is confirmed?

Mr. BURNS

As I informed the hon. Member for the Bow and Bromley Division on the 14th ultimo, I understand that the Departmental Committee appointed to examine the existing Poor Law Orders with a view to their consolidation and amendment, contemplate the drafting of an Order dealing with the management of Poor Law institutions, but I have not yet received a Report from them on the subject.
