Mr. Alison

An analysis by age groups would call for a disproportionate effort, and information as to social status, a term which can be interpreted variously, is not available. Certain information was provided in the reply I gave to the hon. Member for Manchester, Wythenshawe (Mr. Alfred Morris) on 5th November.—[Vol. 863, c.86–7.]
