these lists requires a considerable amount of clerical work, as the names
and addresses of persons living out of Westminster but receiving work from
employers in Westminster have to be sent to the M.O.H. of the district
in which they live; thus 5,602 names and addresses were distributed
to 121 other local authorities. They in their turn send names of persons
living in Westminster receiving work from employers in their districts.
Only 373 were received, showing that a considerable amount of work
is sent out of Westminster, not only to other Metropolitan Boroughs,
but all over the country. All the Metropolitan districts are represented,
in the following proportions:—
Battersea 74
