HC Deb 08 December 1948 vol 459 c358
2. Dr. Segal

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what recent reports he has received about the progress of the Mosquito extermination campaign in Cyprus.

Mr. Rees-Williams

Recent reports show that the extermination of anopheline mosquitoes in Cyprus should be substantially complete by the end of this year.

Dr. Segal

Could my hon. Friend say what steps he is taking to bring to the notice of other Colonial Governments the almost classical work performed by Mr. Azziz and his collaborators in this connection?

Mr. Rees-Williams

Publicity is given in all Colonies to anti-malarial work, and I will look into the special point raised by my hon. Friend.
