§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) what would have been the decrease in the number of still births and deaths in the first week of life in the United Kingdom in 1976 if the perinatal mortality rate in the United Kingdom had been 10.7 per 1,000 total births as it was in Sweden;
(2) what would have been the decrease in the number of infant deaths in the first year of life in the United Kingdom in 1976 if the infant mortality rate for that year had been 8.3 deaths per 1,000 live births as it was in Sweden.
§ Mr. MoyleThe decreases would have been 4,965 still births and deaths under one week of age and 4,169 deaths under one year of age. Deaths under one week of age, comprising a little over half of the total deaths under one year, are included in both figures.
