HC Deb 08 March 1922 vol 151 cc1268-9
44. Sir C. YATE

asked the Minister of Health whether, considering that the cases of leprosy in this country are reported to have been contracted abroad, and that there is no definite information as to the number of these cases, he will consider the question of making the disease notifiable?

Sir A. MOND

This question has been carefully considered from time to time, but I am not at present satisfied that there is sufficient justification for making this disease notifiable.

Sir C. YATE

Did not the last International Conference recommend that the notification of these cases should be made obligatory?

Sir A. MOND

I should like notice of that question.
