Mr. DAY

asked the Minister of Health the death rate per 1,000 of the population for the 12 months ended to the last convenient date in the borough of South-wark?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The most recent figure available is that contained in the Registrar-General's quarterly return for the December quarter, 1928, according to which the provisional death rate for the 52 weeks ended 29th December, 1928, in the Metropolitan Borough of South-wark was 12.5 per 1,000 living (deaths of civilians only).
