§ MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)To ask the Lord-Advocate if he will state the number of uncertified deaths in Scotland and Ireland respectively for each year since 1900.
(Answered by Mr. Scott Dickson.) The number of deaths from uncertified causes in Scotland during 1900 were 2,757; during 1901 were 2,392; during 1902 were 2,180. Figures for 1903–4 are not yet available. For information as to the Irish figures the hon. Member will probably apply to the Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant.
