HC Deb 31 May 1904 vol 135 cc426-7
MR. CHARLES HOBHOUSE (Bristol, E.)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he would grant a Return showing the total amount of indebtedness of counties and county boroughs for the erection and maintenance of lunatic asylums, and the cost per head of lunatics for buildings and maintenance.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Akers-Douglas.) I think I shall be able to agree to a Return on this subject if the hon. Member will, before putting a Motion on the Paper, settle with me the form which it would be best for the Return to take.
