§ Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALDasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether an anti-malaria campaign, carried on in Cairo in 1907, has been interrupted by a disagreement between the medical and administrative authorities, with the result that mosquito destruction has been stopped and that malaria has reappeared in districts where the 1907 campaign had almost stamped it out; whether he has any knowledge that recently repeated requests have been made by the inhabitants of Cairo to the sanitary department to re-initiate the mosquito campaign; and whether the Foreign Office proposes to bring more pressure to bear upon those responsible for the public health of Cairo, so that obvious precautions may be taken against malaria?
Mr. McKINNON WOODI have no more recent information on this subject than that given on page 36 of the 1909 8 Report from His Majesty's Agent and Consul-General at Cairo; but I will ask for a report on the points raised in this question.
