HC Deb 14 May 1912 vol 38 cc952-3
Mr. KEIR HARDIE

asked the President of the Local Government Board, whether he can give figures showing the death rate during the months of March and April of this year and the figures for the corresponding months of last year, distinguishing where possible the death rate amongst children in the following districts: counties of Glamorganshire (South Wales), Lanarkshire (Scotland), Lancashire, Yorkshire, Durham, and Northumberland?

The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Burns)

Figures for March and April are not available, but I will circulate a table giving comparative figures for the three months ending 31st March, 1911, and 1912, so far as the areas in England and Wales are concerned. [See Written Answers this date.]
