asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list in the Official Report the number of deaths in England and Wales from each form of cancer, broken down for men and women, for each of the last 10 years up to the latest year for which figures are available.
The information is contained in table 2 of the OPCS annual volume "Mortality Statistics—cause", England and Wales, series DH2 (Her Majesty's Stationery Office). Copies for each year 1976–84 inclusive can be found in the Library. The figures for 1985 are shown in the table.
