§ Sir W. Smithersasked the Minister of Health the total cost per child in residential homes for children which come under the jurisdiction of his Department; how 233W many such homes there are; how many children are in these homes; and what is the annual cost to the taxpayer.
§ Miss Hornsby-SmithThe only such homes under my right hon. Friend's jurisdiction are a few institutions for mentally defective children and a few nurseries. They generally form part of a larger institution and separate costs are not available.
