§ Mr. LEONARDasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether there are issued from his Department any figures comparable to those published by the Ministry of Health in Costing Returns, Part III (Poor Law); and, if so, whether he will cause such figures to be placed in the Library of the House?
§ Sir G. COLLINSNo separate costing return is published for Scotland similar to that published by the Ministry of Health, but a table is included in Appendix 45 of the Annual Report of the Department of Health for Scotland for 1935, which shows under various heads of expenditure the average weekly cost of maintenance of inmates in poor law institutions, including children's homes. This report is in the Library of the House.
