HC Deb 19 February 1930 vol 235 cc1413-4W
Mr. SORENSEN

asked the Attorney-General the number of poor persons' cases in which the King's Proctor has successfully intervened since the establishment of the Poor Persons' Department in 1914, and in how many of these cases he has failed; the total number of successful interventions and failures; and the approximate cost to the State of each intervention?

The ATTORNEY - GENERAL

No separate record exists dealing with the class of case to which the hon. Member refers, and I am informed that it would entail a considerable amount of labour to compile the information for so long a period. In these circumstances, I regret that I cannot furnish the information which the hon. Member desires.
