38. Viscount SANDON

asked the Minister of Health whether he will pub- lish the results as soon as available of the medical investigations into the recent unknown epidemic in Poplar; and whether he will take all possible steps to secure its elucidation?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

All possible steps have been taken to elucidate the cause of this outbreak. Bacteriological investigations are being continued, but so far have yielded no positive result. If and when a. conclusion has been reached as to the nature of the outbreak I shall be glad to have the information published.

Viscount SANDON

Have there been any signs of this disease in other quarters?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

No, I think not.
