HC Deb 22 February 1940 vol 357 c1554W
Rear-Admiral Beamish

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the Royal Anthropological Institute has appointed a committee to conduct an anthropometric survey; and will he, in the nation's interest and in consultation with the institute and other Ministries concerned, facilitate this work now while such large numbers of men and women are collected in groups and so provide the material for the survey?

Mr. Elliot

I have no information as to the survey to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers, and I am, accordingly, not in a position to say whether I should find myself able to assist in providing facilities for it.
