§ Mr. George Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is his estimate of the number of persons whose names appear on the electoral registers of Great Britain in any year who die before the end of the year to which the registers apply; and what is his estimate of the number of persons over the age of 16 years and eight months who die each year in Great Britain.
§ Mr. Merlyn ReesThe estimate requested cannot be made accurately without disproportionate expense. However, the number of persons over the age of 16 years and eight months who died in Great Britain in 1976 was about 650,000.
