HC Deb 28 March 1923 vol 162 c549W
Mr. T. THOMSON

asked the Minister of Health the number of boards of guardians who have adopted the system of separate cottages for aged deserving porn, giving the number of cottages, the average cost per annum in maintenance (luring the year 1922, and the average cost per person per annum for food and clothing?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I regret that this information is not available. Where boards of guardians have provided separate dwellings for some of the aged poor in their institutions, the dwellings are regarded, for statistical and accounting purposes, as part of the institution.
