HC Deb 18 July 1939 vol 350 c210W
Mr. Magnay

asked the Minister of Health how many old age pensioners there are residing in Gateshead and Edgbaston, respectively; how many of them are in each case in receipt of assistance from other public funds; and what is the average payment per week from such additional sources?

Mr. Elliot

I regret that the information desired by my hon. Friend is not avail able as the records of old age pensioners are not kept on a territorial basis, and returns relating to public assistance are made to me only for counties and county boroughs.
