NUMBER OF PERSONS (INCLUDING DEPENDANTS) IN RECEIPT OF RELIEF IN ENGLAND AND WALES ON ONE DAY IN WINTER AND ON ONE DAY IN SUMMER, IN THE YEARS 1910-11 TO 1924-25. [Compiled from the First Annual Report of the Ministry of Health and from later Returns.] Up to January, 1915, persons who received both institutional and domiciliary Relief on the same day are counted both in Col. (1) and in Col. (2) but are counted once only in the Totals shown in Col. (5). From July, 1915, onwards such persons are counted once only in Cols. (1) and (2). †The figures for these dates relate to the numbers in receipt of relief on the night of the specified dates. The numbers of lunatics in Asylums, Registered Hospitals and Licensed Houses on or about the first day of July, were not ascertained for 1915 and subsequent years; the numbers used in this Table are the means of the ascertained numbers for the preceding and succeeding 1st January. MEAN NUMBERS* OF PERSONS (INCLUDING DEPENDANTS) IN RECEIPT OF RELIEF IN ENGLAND AND WALES, AND THE RATES PER 1,000 OF THE ESTIMATED POPULATION, 1911-25. [Compiled from the First Annual Report of the Ministry of Health, supplemented by later information specially supplied.] The mean number shown in this Table for any year is the mean of the numbers of persons relieved on or about 1st January of that year, and on or about 1st July preceding, except that the number of lunatics in asylums, registered hospitals and licensed houses on or about 1st July, not having been ascertained for any year later than 1914, has been taken to have been, in each subsequent year, a number midway between the ascertained numbers for the preceding and succeeding 1st January. NUMBER, PER 10,000 OF ESTIMATED POPULATION, OF PERSONS* IN RECEIPT OF POOR-LAW RELIEF IN ENGLAND AND WALES ON THE LAST SATURDAY IN EACH MONTH IN THE YEARS 1911-25, AND THE CORRESPONDING NUMBER FOR EACH OF THOSE YEARS CALCULATED FROM THE NUMBERS IN RECEIPT OF RELIEF ON EACH SATURDAY WITHIN THE YEAR. [Compiled from the quarterly Statements of the Number of Persons in receipt of PoorLaw Relief, supplemented by information specially supplied by the Ministry of Health.] *The figures include dependants, but exclude casuals, lunatics in asylums registered hospitals and licensed houses, and persons receiving out-door medical relief only. NUMBER, PER 10,000 OF ESTIMATED POPULATION, OF PERSONS* IN RECEIPT OF POOR-LAW RELIEF IN EACH OF 25 SELECTED "URBAN AREAS " AND IN "ALL WHOLLY RURAL POOR LAW UNIONS" IN ENGLAND AND WALES ON ONE DAY† IN MARCH, JUNE, SEPTEMBER, AND DECEMBER, 1913 AND 1925. [Compiled from information specially supplied by the Ministry of Health and published in the Ministry of Labour Gazette.] The figures include dependants, but exclude casuals, lunatics in asylums, registered hospitals and licensed houses, and persons receiving out-dcor medical relief only. + The figures for 1913 relate to one day in the second week of the month, and those for 1925 to the last Saturday of the month. Between March, 1913, and December, 1925 slight alterations in the boundaries of these areas took place, but the effect of those changes on the numbers entered in the table is probably small.
