HC Deb 08 March 1928 vol 214 cc1213-4
52. Mr. SHORT

asked the Minister of Health the number of persons resident in Darlaston, Wednesbury, and Tipton, respectively, who were in receipt of Poor Law relief on the last available day in February?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

Separate particulars are not furnished to my Department as regards the number of persons in receipt of Poor Law relief in the areas mentioned, which are small in relation to the unions comprising them.

Mr. SHORT

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that I have received similar information before, and would he therefore supply it to me?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

Does the hon. Member mean that he has received it from me?

Mr. SHORT

Yes.

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I have not got it now.

Mr. SHORT

Will the right hon. Gentleman not get this information for me, seeing that I have been supplied with it before?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I will look into the matter.
