HC Deb 01 March 1938 vol 332 cc897-9
25. Mr. Leach

asked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether his attention has been drawn to the evidence given by Dr. E. H. Cluver, deputy-chief health officer of the Union to the Native Labour Committee in South Africa that three-quarters of the native population is under-fed and that tuberculosis is increasing; and what steps he is taking to prevent these conditions spreading to the neighbouring British protectorates?

The Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs (Mr. Malcolm MacDonald)

I have shot-firing by more effective stemming of the shot-holes. No representations have been made to me recently, and I have no statement to make.
