HC Deb 14 December 1928 vol 223 c2484W
Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the Minister of Health the number of persons in receipt of parish relief in Devonport and Plymouth, respectively, specifying the various categories, during the month of November, 1928?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The following statement shows the number of persons in receipt of Poor Law relief on the last Saturday in November, 1928, in the parishes of Devonport and Plymouth.

Sir V. HENDERSON

The answer to the first and second parts of the question is in the negative. I regret that the requirements of the Stationery Office render it impracticable to contemplate removal from the premises in Pocock Street, upon which an expenditure of upwards of £50,000 has been incurred.
