Dr. MORGANasked the Minister of Health if he will state the number of persons in receipt of parish relief in the borough of Camberwell, specifying men, women and children, for the six months to 30th September, 1929; how many have been refused relief; and how many offered the alternative of alternative institutional relief?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe statistical re cords do not enable me to furnish the information for which my hon. Friend asks. The following statement, however, gives the available figures for the months of April and September.
Statement showing, for the parish of Camberwell (which is coterminous with the borough) the average number of per sons in receipt of institutional and domiciliary Poor Law relief (excluding lunatics in county and borough asylums, casuals and persons in receipt of domiciliary medical relief only), distinguishing, in the case of domiciliary relief, men women and children.
the exceptional privilege of reply given to the Law Officers of the Crown when conducting a prosecution, so that the Law Officers of the Crown may be placed 1551W on an equal footing with other counsel as to the order of precedence in the final address to the jury?
The SOLICITOR-GENERALSince the privilege of reply is a prerogative right of the Crown the Law Officers are not at liberty to abandon it. I can, however, say that as at present advised neither my hon. Friend the Attorney-General nor I intend to exercise the right during our tenure of office.
