HC Deb 06 January 1913 vol 46 c812
16. Mr. H. W. FORSTER

asked how many cards have been received from approved societies up to the end of 1912?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The number of cards received from approved societies (in addition to those received from deposit contributors) by the date mentioned was 8,087,036. Several millions of further cards are expected from a few large societies, who will deliver in large quantities.

Mr. FORSTER

Can the right hon. Gentleman say how many of these are men and how many women?

Mr. MASTERMAN

If the hon. Gentleman will be good enough to put down a question I will endeavour to ascertain.
