§ Mr. DAYasked the Minister of Health (1) whether he has any statistics in his possession that will show the death rate from small-pox in the United States of America and Germany, respectively, for the years 1920 to 1925; and will he give particulars;
(2) whether he has any statistics that will show the death rate from pulmonary tuberculosis in America, Germany, and France for the years 1920 to 1925, and will he give these particulars?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINSome part of the particulars referred to are contained in the published Reports of the several countries concerned. But in view of differences in procedure and in the age and sex constitution of the populations to which the figures respectively relate, I am advised that the available particulars would not enable a statement of properly comparable rates to be given.
