HC Deb 20 October 1952 vol 505 cc59-60W
95. Mr. Edward Davies

asked the Minister of National Insurance what is the reason for the delay in publishing the Annual Report of the National Assistance Board for the year ended 31st December, 1951; and whether he will arrange for subsequent reports to be available earlier.

Mr. Peake

I do not think there has been any undue delay in publishing the Board's Report for 1951. Since the war it has usually been published in August or September.

102. Mr. Edward Davies

asked the Minister of National Insurance how much National Assistance Board money was used in the last available 12 months for persons in employment and awaiting receipt of wages for work performed.

Mr. Peake

About half a million pounds.
