§ MR. SAUNDERS (Newington, Walworth)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Death Rate and other Returns from the Office of the Registrar General could be given for London in Divisions instead of for the Metropolis as a whole?
SIR W. FOSTERThe weekly Returns issued by the Registrar General give in respect of each registration dis- 1217 trict in London the total number of deaths registered, together with particulars as to the number of deaths from different zymotic diseases and other particulars. Similar information is furnished in the quarterly Returns issued by the Registrar General, and in the Annual Summary tables are given showing the death rates in five groups of districts in London, together with the death rates from all causes and from certain selected causes in the same groups, after distribution of deaths in institutions to the districts to which they belonged.
