On February 16th 1940 the Ministry of Health issued a circular advising that all reports should be curtailed as much as possible. Again, on March 20th 1941 it is stated that the report should be prepared on similar lines. In last year’s Report I stated that the statistical details usually furnished by the Registrar-General were not to hand. I had to rely on local sources of information. The populations were not stated, but these figures for 1939 and 1940 are now to hand, and I judge it advisable to give them in full. The estimated populations for 1938 were s- Oakham Urban District 3,280 Oakham Rural District 6,165 Uppingham Rural District 5.740 Ketton Rural District 2,675 Administrative County 17,860
