§ 67. Mr. FREEMANasked the Minister of Health whether he has considered the method at present adopted in the periodical returns of the League of Nations Health Committee, under which the mild cases of small-pox occurring in this country are compared with severe cases occurring in other European countries, thereby giving a false impression as to the extent and character of the small-pox outbreaks in this country; and whether he will request the League of Nations Health Committee to always include deaths as well as cases whenever they publish any record of the small-pox statistics of the countries sending in returns, so that a just comparison of the relative positions of the various countries may be made?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part, I have requested the British representative to bring my hon. Friend's suggestion to the notice of the Health Committee of the League of Nations.
