HC Deb 22 March 1904 vol 132 cc394-5
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland, having regard to the fact that the last Report of the Registrar General for Scotland shows that 80,107 deaths were registered in Scotland during 1901, will he state how many of these deaths were uncertified; and when he proposes to introduce legislation on the subject.

MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAY

The number of deaths uncertified in Scotland during the year 1901 was 2,392. I am not in a position to give any pledge as to legislation on this subject.
