HC Deb 23 April 1931 vol 251 cc1139-40
47. Mr. WHITE

asked the Minister of Health if, in view of the new efforts being made to combat the evils arising from rheumatic diseases, he will now consider the advisability of setting up an advisory committee on rheumatism on the same lines as the advisory committee on cancer?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I have given careful consideration to this suggestion and have come to the conclusion that I should not be justified at the present time in setting up such a committee as is mentioned in the question.
