§ Mr. LAWSONasked the Minister of Health whether he will state for the week ending 12th February, 1927, and for each succeeding week since, the amount of relief in kind and in money, respectively, distributed by the Chester-le-Street Union, together with the number of persons and number of cases; and similar figures for each week in 1926 prior to 1st May?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe information which the hon. Member seeks is not in my possession, but I will endeavour2288W to obtain it for him. I may say, however, that the number of persons in receipt of relief on the 26th March last was 3,809 and that the corresponding number for the previous year was 10,789.
