HC Deb 30 April 1913 vol 52 c1207W
Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCK

asked the President of the Local Government Board if his consent has been asked to the expenditure by the St. Pancras Board of Guardians of £592 on making additions to the Leavesden Poor Law schools, which already accommodate nearly 400 children; and whether, in view of the condemnation of this barrack-school method of rearing the young, he will refuse his sanction to any enlargement of the buildings?

Mr. BURNS

The alterations to which the Noble Lord refers will not increase the number of children that can be accommodated at the school.
