§ Mr. WADSWORTHasked the President of the Local Government Board whether the Local Government Board made any inquiries or took any steps as to the case of the child No. 52 in the Starvation Return for 1911, beyond communicating to the guardians the particulars of the inquest and asking for and obtaining the guardians' observations printed in the Parliamentary Return; and, if the Local Government Board did make any other inquiries, or took any other steps with regard to this case, will he indicate what they were?
§ Mr. BURNSThe case did not come before the Local Government Board until it was reported to them by the coroner a long while after its occurrence. I understand that it was not regarded as one in which the Poor Law officials were concerned, and further correspondence with the guardians was not considered necessary.
