§ Sir C. OMANasked the Minister of Health whether, considering the high importance of perfect cleanliness in casual wards, both to the public and to the inmates of the wards, the will authorise the insertion of eight hours' work in washing, scrubbing, and cleaning, as one of the alternative prescribed tasks for males passing through such wards.
§ Mr. NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN; I am prepared to consider any application made by a board of guardians in this sense, and have already approved of a task of this kind in eight cases.
