HC Deb 02 August 1922 vol 157 c1438
30. Mr. R. RICHARDSON

asked the Minister of Health the number of persons who were found by the verdict of a coroner's inquest to have died of starvation, or to have had their deaths accelerated by privation in England and Wales in the year 1921: and will he state their ages and sex, the dates of the inquests, and the names of the unions and counties in which the deaths occurred?

Sir A. MOND

I am sending the hon. Member a statement containing the information lie desires.

Mr. BRIANT

Will that statement contain any facts as to whether these persons who have died have received, or have applied for, Poor Law relief?

Sir A. MOND

I should think it probably will.
