§ Mrs. WINTRINGHAMasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to the Reports of the Poor Law Commission, published in 1909, and Dr. MeVail's evidence, showing the difficulties of obtaining necessary medical and other Poor Law relief in some unions; the number of children in the Starvation Death Lists from 1910 to 1918 (after which the lists were discontinued), inclusive, and also the number of children in the Starvation Death Lists for 1914?
§ Sir A. MONDI am aware of the Reports and evidence referred to. The number of children under 16 years of age in whose cases a coroner's jury returned a verdict of death from starvation or death accelerated by privation in the years 1910 to 1918 was 54. The number of such cases in the year 1914 was six.
