27. Mr. Davidsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland the total number of deaths in Glasgow in the age group between 65 and 70 years for the years ended October, 1936, 1937, and 1938, respectively?
§ Mr. ColvilleThe age group between 65 and 70 is not one for which the number of deaths is tabulated; but the figures for Glasgow are estimated at 1,585, 1,590, and 1,510 for the years ended 31st October, 1936, 1937, and 1938, respectively.
Mr. DavidsonDoes not the Minister think that the number of deaths among these people would be considerably decreased if they were provided with adequate pensions?
§ Mr. ColvilleThe number has decreased in the last year.
