73. Mr. WEST

asked the Minister of Health what were the infantile mortality rates fur 1928 in East Ham, North Kensington, and the Norland Ward of the Royal Borough of Kensington?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The infant mortality rate for the County Borough of East Ham was 49 per 1,000 births in 1928. The Registrar-General has no statistics for separate parts or wards of the metropolitan boroughs, but according to the annual report of the medical officer of health, the infant mortality rates in 1928 for North Kensington and the Norland Ward if the Borough of Kensington were 93 and 115, respectively.

Mr. WEST

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the rates of infant mortality in the Royal Borough of Kensington are very much above the infant mortality rates in Poplar?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The figures which I have given show that that is so.
