HC Deb 03 May 1933 vol 277 cc848-9W
Mr. GROVES

asked the Minister of Health if he can give the standardised death-rates from diabetes per million living at ages of 0–15, 15–25, 25–35, 35–45, 45–55, 55–65, and 65–75, for each of the years 1900 to 1922?

Sir H. YOUNG

The following table gives the best figures available on this subject:—

what steps are being taken in respect of the proposals for economy; and whether, until such steps are taken, he will postpone the proposals for extra taxation?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the remainder, the majority of Sir Alan Pim's recommendations for economies have already been put into effect, and the remainder are under consideration. In the circumstances I see no reason to postpone the adoption of his proposals for additional taxation, most of which have also in fact already been introduced.
