HC Deb 16 March 1936 vol 310 c29
62. Mr. DAVID ADAMS

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the high incidence of infectious disease in the Stanley, county Durham, area, and that this is declared by members of the local authority to be due to the low nutritional standards of the area; and whether he will investigate this situation?

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

My right hon. Friend is aware of this outbreak; the situation has been under close investigation for some time past, and he is now awaiting a report by the county medical officer of health.
