HC Deb 08 July 1930 vol 241 c237
72. Mr. SORENSEN

asked the Minister of Health whether he will supply comparative tables of out-relief paid by the present Essex County Council Public Assistance Committee and the late West Ham Board of Guardians?

Miss LAWRENCE

My right hon. Friend is not sure what figures my hon. Friend desires to have, but the figures that are available for the county of Essex as a whole are not of course comparable with figures for the former West Ham Union.

Mr. McSHANE

Is it not possible for the Minister to give the relative scales of relief that have been paid or are being paid at the moment?

Miss LAWRENCE

If the hon. Member will put down a slightly clearer question, I will try to provide an answer.
