Mr. E. J. Williams

asked the Minister of Health whether he will state the number of old age pensioners and widows in England, Wales, and Scotland, separately, in receipt of public assistance in supplementation to their pension for the year 1924 and each year to date?

Mr. Elliot

Following is the answer:

Mr. Elliot
