§ 60. Mr. LONGDENasked the Minister of Health if he will supply the comparative figures showing the number of persons who were receiving outdoor relief in Birmingham on the same convenient date in June, 1929, and June, 1930, respectively?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe number of persons in receipt of outdoor relief in the city of Birmingham on Saturday, 28th June, 1930, excluding persons in receipt of domiciliary medical relief only, was 11,658. I regret that corresponding figures for 1929 cannot be given, as in that year the figures relate to the Poor Law Union, the boundaries of which were not coterminous with those of the city.
