MR. E. H. PICK ERSGILL (Bethnal Green, S.W.)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board, whether statistics are available showing separately the number of children included in the total number of vagrants furnished in Return (B); and, if so, will he consent to a Return giving a comparative statement of the number of child vagrants relieved on 1st January and 1st July in each union county for the last ten years?
§ MR. SHAW LEFEVREThe Local Government Board have not in their possession any such statistics as those referred to in the question, but I will consider whether a Return can be obtained giving the information desired for the last four or five years.
