§ 51. Mr. THORNEasked the Minister of Health the number of people in the Tilbury area receiving Poor Law relief: and the number of school children receiving mid-day meals supplied by the public assistance committee or local educational authority?
Sir H. YOUNGPersons in receipt of poor relief are chargeable to counties and county boroughs as a whole, and the returns received in my Department do not distinguish the numbers in smaller areas. The second part of the question should be addressed to the President of the Board of Education.
