§ Mr. BevanOver 90 per cent. of the total civilian population; but the available figures may involve some duplication which cannot yet be exactly estimated. The answer to the second part of the Question is not known. The number of people who have not applied to go on doctors' lists is, subject to elimination of duplicates, fewer than four million for England and Wales.
