HC Deb 30 June 1926 vol 197 cc1130-1
25. Mr. PENNY

asked the Minister of Health whether the report of the expert sent down by the Ministry of Health to investigate the circumstances of several deaths from puerperal septicæmia at Kingston has been submitted to him; and what steps are being taken to inform the public as to the result of such investigation?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Sir Kingsley Wood)

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which was given on this subject yesterday to the hon. Member for Central Southwark.

Mr. PENNY

In view of the extreme gravity of the case, will the hon. Gentleman give the name of the doctor, and his qualifications, who made the inquiry, and say whether any previous investigation has been made regarding the administration of this institution?

Mr. SPEAKER

The hon. Member must give notice of that question.
