§ Mr. DAYasked the Minister of Health the number of orphans who were in receipt of orphans' pensions at the latest date for which figures are available; and if he has any statistics that will show how many of these pensioners were in institutions?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe number of children in England and Wales for whom orphans' pensions were in payment on 31st December, 1929, was 13,269. 2,000 of these children were resident in, or in the charge of, various institutions to whom their pensions were being paid. An inquiry regarding the number of pensions in payment in Scotland should be addressed to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland.
