Sir John Birchall
asked the Minister of Health the latest figures of the birth rate in the following cases: schoolmasters, clergymen, professional men, and skilled and unskilled wage earners?
Sir K. Wood
The Registrar-General's report upon occupational birth rates in 1931 is not yet complete; and certain advance figures only can be given. As they involve a tabular statement, I will, with my hon. Friend's permission, circulate the statement in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
Mr. Jenkins
Can the right hon. Gentleman give the figures for Cabinet Ministers?
Following is the statement:
| ENGLAND AND WALES. | |
