HC Deb 21 June 1933 vol 279 cc757-8
32. Mr. LUNN

asked the Minister of Health if he will state the total expenditure on all forms of Poor Law relief for the year ended 31st March, 1933?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Mr. Shakespeare)

Complete returns relating to expenditure on all forms of poor relief in the year ended 31st March, 1933, have not yet been received in my Department. The figures for which the hon. Member asks are therefore not yet available.

Mr. LUNN

When are they likely to be available?

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

The preparation takes a considerable time. Perhaps the hon. Member will put a question down in a week's time.
