27. Mr. David Adamsasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that in the southern United States full-time malaria units, consisting of a physician, an engineer, and an entomologist, are now being added to the staffs of state health departments; and whether parallel steps are being taken in British Colonies in the control of tropical diseases?
Mr. M. MacDonaldYes, Sir. Similar steps have for some years past been taken in most British Colonies. The need for co-ordinating medical, engineering and entomological advice is fully appreciated.
