HC Deb 17 December 1947 vol 445 c1682
20. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether compulsory arrest of Germans for medical examination in respect of V.D. still continues in the British zone of Germany; how many have been arrested during the past year compared with the previous year; and what percentage have been found to be suffering from this disease.

Mr. Bevin

I have called for a report on the matter referred to in my hon. Friend's Question, and I will communicate with him as soon as possible.

Mr. Sorensen

I take it from that answer that we still have responsibility in that matter, and if the report shows that the present method has proved of little value, will that procedure be reconsidered?

Mr. Bevin

I had better await the report.
