HC Deb 08 March 1904 vol 131 c458
MR. BATTY LANGLEY (Sheffield, Attercliffe)

I bag to ask the President of the Local Government Board if he will state when the Report of the Royal Commission on Tuberculosis will be available for Members.

THE SECRETARY TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. GRANT LAWSON,) Yorkshire, N.R., Thirsk

I understand that considerable progress has been made by the Royal Commission with their investigation, but that the necessity for making the, Report as far as possible conclusive involves a very wide series of experiments. These experiments are being carried out on an extensive scale by the Commission, and I am in formed that it is impossible to state at present when the Report will be issued.

MR. BATTY LANGLEY

Can the hon. Gentleman give us an interim Report?

MR. GRANT LAWSON

That rests with the Royal Commission.
