HC Deb 11 April 1938 vol 334 cc752-3
42. Mr. James Griffiths

asked the Minister of Health whether the investigations recently conducted by the hon. and learned Member for Montgomery (Mr. C. Davies) into the problem of tuberculosis in Wales is now completed; and whether it is intended to publish a report setting out the findings and outlining the recommendations as to the further steps to be taken to combat this disease in Wales?

Mr. Bernays

No, Sir. My right hon. Friend is informed that the Committee, of which the hon. and learned Member for Montgomery is the chairman, have not yet completed their inquiries, and that they propose to hold a further sitting towards the end of this month. As regards the second part of the question, my right hon. Friend will consider the question of the publication of the report as soon as he receives it.

Mr. Griffiths

In view of the widespread public interest in this matter, can the hon. Member give an assurance that the report will be made public?

Mr. Bernays

I can give no assurance, but I will convey the hon. Member's views to my right hon. Friend.
