HC Deb 26 May 1903 vol 122 c1803
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board if he will state the number of cases of infectious diseases removed from houses in Great George Square, Liverpool, during each year for the last three years, distinguishing smallpox, cholera, and typhus from other infectious diseases.

MR. GRANT LAWSON

During the period referred to there have been no cases of cholera or typhus in houses in Great George Square and only one case of smallpox. That case occurred this year. The number of cases of other infectious diseases which have occurred are as follows—twelve in 1900, seven in 1901, nine in 1902, and three in 1903.
