Description (What the record is about)

- Content
- Folios 393-395. Letter from Charles Mott [Assistant Poor Law Commissioner], to the Poor Law Commission, acknowledging receipt of the letter from the Commission enclosing a copy of a report [not included] by Sir John Walsham [Assistant Commissioner, Poor Law Committee] and a letter which had been sent to the guardians of the Keighley Poor Law Union. The letter also requests that he should return 'Form A', which states the guardians' estimate of the maximum number of people who can be accommodated in the workhouses. Mott had previously received the plans for the proposed alterations to the Keighley Workhouse. He had returned these with his comments which were that the expenditure would be wasted on a building which was rented yearly and which would still be unsuitable as a workhouse. He agreed with Walsham's report and referred the Commissioners to a similar report which he had prepared on 23 April 1842. This stated that unless the workhouse accommodation was improved there could be no restraint on the relief to the able-bodied paupers and consequently the poor rates in the manufacturing districts would suffer the same sort of inflation as that seen in the agricultural districts of the South of England. Paper Number: 8464/B/1842. Poor Law Union Number 571. Counties: Yorkshire West Riding.
