HC Deb 28 July 1942 vol 382 c350W
Mr. Leach

asked the Minister of Health how many deaths from pneumonia were registered in each of the years from 1931 to 1941?

Mr. E. Brown

The number of deaths from pneumonia (all forms) registered in England and Wales in each of the years from 1931 to 1941 were:

1931 34,914
1932 30,743
1933 31,259
1934 29,751
1935 27,843
1936 28,890
1937 30,331
1938 27,467
1939 23,403
1940 29,195
1941 26,418

The figures for the years 1931 to 1939 are corrected to agree with the 1940 classification of deaths and differ from those published in the Registrar-General's Statistical Review, Part I, Table 6.
