HC Deb 12 March 1936 vol 309 cc2306-7
56. Mr. HARDIE

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the doubt still existing regarding the use of aluminium cooking utensils and the conflicting opinions given by various authorities, he will have a statement made by the men so qualified in his Department and have such made public?

Sir K. WOOD

A report on this subject by an officer of my Department was published in October last. I am sending the hon. Member a copy.

Mr. HARDIE

May I point out that, while that was done at that period, the public have not been reached by it? It is true that a great deal of discussion has taken place between eminent medical men, but would it not be better that the public should hear from the Ministry of Health direct which is right and which is wrong?
