The corresponding figures for 1915 are not yet available, but I shall be happy to supply them to the hon. Member in the course of a week or two.
§ Mr. PETOCould the hon. Gentleman give the figures of a somewhat earlier month in the year? My question asks for the figures at any date in 1915, with the figures for the corresponding date in 1914.
