Mr. SNELL
asked the Minister of Health if he can give, for each of the five years 1918 to 1922, the number of deaths registered on a certificate of a registered medical practitioner, the number registered on a coroner's certificate after inquest, and the number of uncertified deaths on which no inquest was held?
Mr. CHAMBERLAIN
I will circulate, with permission, in the OFFICIAL REPORT a table giving the information required.
Following is the table promised:
