§ 4. Mr. Swinglerasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will give instructions to ensure that all clinics in the Seychelles are supplied with refrigerators for the keeping of sera and vaccines.
§ Mr. ProfumoFor reasons which I have explained to the hon. Member in a letter, I am satisfied that the present arrangements are adequate.
§ Mr. SwinglerWhile thanking the Under-Secretary of State for the very long letter he wrote to me, which was extremely informative on this matter, may I ask whether he is aware that those who are in touch with medical people in the Seychelles still feel that there is a case for keeping serum in the clinics? Will be check the information given to him about expert opinion among medical officers on the spot on the supply to the clinics?
§ Mr. ProfumoI do not think I have any need to check the medical information because I did that before I wrote to the hon. Gentleman. Perhaps I might ask him if he would forward a copy of the letter which I wrote to him to his informants in the Seychelles. If they are still worried, perhaps we can take up the matter further.
