Extract

1.1 The publication last year of the English Life Table No. 14 enables my earlier paper (Daw, 1982) to be extended to include the latest table. This paper applied Redington and Michaelson's rx test to E.L.T. Nos. 8 to 13 and the corresponding figures for E.L.T. No. 14 have now been calculated. The Government Actuary's Department kindly supplied me with the unpublished exposed to risk figures which were used.
