HC Deb 12 March 1867 vol 185 c1702
MR. LOWE

said, he would beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he will lay upon the table a Return for every Borough in England and Wales, showing—the Name of Borough; the number of Male Occupiers below £10 rental; the number of Male Occupiers at £30 rental and upwards; and the number of Male Occupiers at £7 rental and under?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

All the information, Sir, that the right hon. Gentleman wishes to have is really upon the table or in the Library of the House. If the right hon. Gentleman will look at the Return of Mr. Baines, No. 81 of last year, and at that of Mr. Horsfall, No, 494, he will find in them all the information he requires. At the same time, if it would be for the convenience of the House, or of the right hon. Gentleman, that it should be produced in a tabular form, we shall be happy to give it him. But I can assure him that the clerks in the Poor Law Board are much overworked at this moment.
