HC Deb 23 February 1927 vol 202 c1764
73. Mr. RAMSDEN

asked the Secretary for the Colonies whether he is aware that there is a lack of facilities for bacteriological and scientific work in the Colony of Fiji; and whether, in view of the numerous tropical diseases that are prevalent and require treatment, he will make arrangements for such facilities to be provided?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

It is unfortunately the case that laboratory facilities in Suva have been limited, and that work has been restricted by a shortage of apparatus. Fresh equipment has, however, been approved, and the facilities are now more adequate.
