§ Dr. HASTINGSasked the Home Secretary the number of unidentified bodies taken to the mortuaries in London in any one recent year?
§ Mr. CLYNESThe most recent year for which figures are available without 1627W special collection is 1927. Seventy-seven bodies of newly-born infants and 74 other bodies found dead in that year remained unidentified two months after the end of the year. It is understood that these numbers fairly represent the average.
