§ Mr. B. PETOasked the Minister of Health whether the Report of the Committee presided over by Lord Trevethin is accepted in principle by the Ministry of Health; and whether it is proposed to take any action to carry oat the recommendations of the Committee?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe principal recommendations in the Report of this Committee have been accepted by my Department, and action is being taken to give effect to them. As regards the recommendation in paragraph 14 of the Report, I may say that I am still in correspondence on this matter with the two societies interested in the combating and prevention of venereal disease.
§ Mr. PETOIn the event of an agreement being reached between the two societies referred to, is there any prospect of legislation being introduced to give effect to that recommendation during the present Session of Parliament.?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINIt is not a question of agreement between the two societies. I may say, however, that I have been in correspondence with them as to what method is practicable to carry out the wishes they have expressed to the Committee.
