Mr. GROVES

asked the Minister of Health how many deaths from small-pox have been registered in France during the years 1929 and 1930, and for the first half of the year 1931; the deaths registered from small-pox in Russia during the same period; and the number of cases of smallpox registered in Spain in the years 1929 and 1930, to complete the tables dealing with small-pox in the recent epidemiological report of the League of Nations Health Committee?

Sir H. YOUNG

According to the annual reports made to the French Minister of Hygiene by the Academy of Medicine, one death from small-pox occurred in France in 1929, and none in 1930; the corresponding report for 1931 is not yet available. I am unable to supply the figures for Russia and Spain requested by the hon. Member.
