§ Viscount SANDONasked the Home Secretary whether he has any statistics as to the number of infants in the United 2345W Kingdom, or in England, killed by criminal and intentional action, at birth or within the first few days; and whether he proposes taking any action, legislatively or administratively, to meet this situation?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThe numbers of inquests in England and Wales on children not more than 24 hours old at which verdicts of murder, manslaughter or infanticide were returned in 1923, 1924 and 1925 were 42, 41 and 44. I am afraid I do not understand what action it is suggested should be taken.
