SIR HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he can obtain any information as to the number of aliens in receipt of relief in this country, and particularly in London.
§ MR. WALTER LONGI am now obtaining particulars as to the number of aliens who received indoor or outdoor relief last year in London and certain other towns, and I hope shortly to be able to furnish my hon. and gallant friend with a statement on the subject. I also propose to obtain, in connection with the forthcoming 1st July Pauperism Return, particulars as to the number of aliens in receipt of relief on that day in the whole of England and Wales.
