18. Mr. David Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what are the most recent figures for perinatal mortality in (a) the GEAR area of Glasgow and (b) the Glasgow district council area; and how these compare with the rest of Scotland.

Mr. John MacKay

Provisional figures for 1983 for the GEAR area of Glasgow are not at present available, but those for the city of Glasgow are 97 giving a rate per 1,000 of 10, and the rate for Scotland is 10.6 per 1,000.
