§ MR. HULSE (Salisbury)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he would obtain 1933 from the Coroners of the London District the number of inquests held over persons who hare met their death by street accidents in the Metropolis during the years 1889 and 1890?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. MATTHEWS, Birmingham, E.)If my hon. Friend's object is to ascertain the number of persons killed by all descriptions of vehicles in the streets, he will find the figures for 1889 in the Report of the Commissioner of Police for that year, page 39. The figures for 1890 will be given in the same Report for that year. It seems, therefore, unnecessary to obtain a Coroner's Return. If I have misunderstood the object of my hon. Friend, perhaps he will specify more exactly what information he requires, and I will then consider whether it can be given.
