Cancer

Mr. Viant
asked the Minister of Health what was the death rate per 1,000,000 living from all forms of cancer in the years 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943 and 1944.

Mr. Bevan
The death rates per million living (civilians only) from all forms of cancer in England and Wales during the years specified were as follow:------
|    |
------
|1940|
------
|1941|
------
|1942|
------
|1943|
------
|1944|
------
The standardized death rates are those which would have been recorded if the sex and age constitution of the population had been the same as in 1901.
