HC Deb 28 July 1913 vol 56 cc22-3
55. Dr. CHAPPLE

asked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the suggestion of Sir Thomas Barlow and other distinguished medical men, and endorsed by a unanimous resolution of the British Medical Association, now meeting at Brighton, that a Royal Commission should be appointed in order to investigate the public health aspect of venereal disease; and whether he intends to act upon this suggestion?

The PRIME MINISTER

As I stated in reply to a question on Friday last, the suggestion is receiving careful consideration. I can say nothing more at present.
