HC Deb 15 December 1927 vol 211 c2484
26. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been called to the success of the recently opened sunlight and vapour baths of the Hull Corporation; and whether he will recommend a similar system to other municipalities?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I am aware of the establishment referred to, and recently paid a visit to it myself. While I regard the Hull baths as an interesting and valuable experiment, I do not think it has been long enough in existence to justify the somewhat unusual step proposed.

Mr. GROTRIAN

Will the right hon. Gentleman take care that these baths are not instituted except under proper expert advice and management?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I do not think that there is any deficiency in that respect.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that the chairman of the baths committee is a senior medical practitioner?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I do not think there is any reflection to be made on these baths.
