HC Deb 02 June 1927 vol 207 c530
19. Sir JOHN POWER

asked the Minister of Health the amount of money to be raised for poor relief in Poplar during the present half-year and the estimated amount which will be contributed for the same purpose by the Metropolitan Common Poor Fund?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I regret that the precise information sought by my hon. Friend is not available. I may, however, state that the guardians are raising by rate during the current half-year a sum of £292,419 and will receive from the Metropolitan Common Poor Fund during the same period a sum of £1284,775.
