I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the question asked yesterday by my hon. Friend the Member for West Leeds (Mr. V. Adams).

57. Mr. Short

asked the Minister of Health the total number of insured persons who received sickness or disablement benefit during 1936; the percentage due to rheumatism; the total sickness benefit paid in consequence of this complaint; and whether the figures indicate a decline or otherwise as compared with previous years?

I regret to say that the information asked for by the hon. Member is not available.
