50. Sir J. POWER

asked the Minister of Health the number of insured persons in receipt of poor relief at the latest date and for a year previously?

Sir G. HENNESSY

It is presumed that the question refers to persons insured under the Unemployment Insurance Acts who received relief during unemployment. On this basis the average number during December, 1928, was 70,547, and during December, 1927, 104,406.
