HC Deb 14 April 1896 vol 39 c889
MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Kilkenny)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, whether he has any objection to give a Return of the number of soldiers who served in the British Army, and who are now in the workhouses of Great Britain and Ireland, or in receipt of outdoor relief from the rates?

*THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. BRODRICK,) Surrey, Guildford

The information necessary for such a Return is at present in course of collection from the several Poor Law Authorities; when completed, there will be no objection to its presentation to Parliament.
