HC Deb 25 July 1929 vol 230 cc1488-9
80. Major NATHAN

asked the Minister of Health whether he will state for each quarter since January 1924, the number of persons in receipt of outdoor relief in Bethnal Green, distinguishing those persons who are normally in employment and the ordinary outdoor poor?

Mr. GREENWOOD
