§ Sir C. OMANasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been called to the inquest at Bury St. Edmunds, on 12th December, on the infant Child of an unemployed labourer, found by the jury to have perished by exposure on the road; and seeing that the coroner declared the death to be due to the absence of accommodation for casuals at Attleborough Workhouse, from which the parents of the child were sent on for a 16-mile walk, during which the child perished, he will inquire into the question?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINYes, Sir. I have already requested the General Inspector for the District to inquire into the matter, and to furnish a Report to me.
