asked the Minister of Labour, as representing the Ministry of Health, what is the average annual cost of the 7,405 children maintained on 1st July in Poor Law institutions?

I regret that the information asked for by the hon. Member is not available. No separate accounts are kept as to the cost of the children referred to, many of whom I are newly-born babies or infants in arms.
