§ Mr. SORENSENasked the Minister of Health whether he can furnish comparative tables respecting the scales of out-relief now paid by the Essex Public Assistance Committee and that paid by the late hoards of guardians operating in the same area?
§ Mr. GREENWOODScales, if adopted, are not required to be submitted to me, and the information in my possession does not enable me to supply the comparative tables desired. In one of the unions there was no scale; as to 11, I have no information; as to three, I have only partial information and full particulars are available only for the West Ham Union which, as I have said, is not comparable with the county generally.
