HC Deb 31 July 1906 vol 162 c680
MR. L. HASLAM (Monmouth Boroughs)

To ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he will state approximately the comparative annual cost per child, including charges on capital account and maintenance in each of the several classes of institution known as barrack schools, village communities, scattered homes, and boarding out, provided under the Poor Laws; is he aware that the Hornchurch village community cost £190 per bed to build, and the Sidcup village community £280 to build per bed provided; and can he give the cost per bed of other village communities.

(Answered by Mr. John Burns.) I am sorry that I am not able to give the particulars desired.
