Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at on 13 March 1929.
Mr. SAMUEL:
The House of Commons Return (No. 16 of 1928) shows the amount provided from the Exchequer, local rates and other sources on all the important public social services for the latest year for which figures are available and also for certain years before the War.
The House of Commons is one of the houses of parliament. Here, elected MPs (elected by the "commons", i.e. the people) debate. In modern times, nearly all power resides in this house. In the commons are 650 MPs, as well as a speaker and three deputy speakers.
