HC Deb 12 November 1908 vol 196 c507
MR. LUPTON

To ask the President of the Local Government Board if he has any figures to show that every year 10,000 babies are killed, 10,000 impregnated with the germs of tuberculosis, 10,000 impregnated with the germs of cancer, and 50,000 debilitated, as regards their teeth and eyes, by the illness caused by impregnating infants of tender years with poisonous matter.

(Answered by Mr. John Burns.) No, Sir, I have no such figures; and, so far as I am aware, there are no such facts.
