Mr. Kenneth Clarke
[pursuant to his reply, 14 May 1984, c. 77]: The available information is given in the table. Information on the number of beds occupied on 31 December 1983 is not yet available. I very much doubt whether 31 December can be regarded as a typical day of the year for numbers of beds occupied.
