§ 28. Dr. Strossasked the Minister of Health if he will give details of the evidence upon which he reached the decision 1891 that the general iodisation of table salts was desirable; and whether he will give figures for the incidence of endemic goitre in North Staffordshire and in Derbyshire.
§ Mr. BevanI am hating the references to the main evidence sent to my hon. Friend. I have no special recent figure for the two areas he mentions.
§ Dr. StrossIs my right hon. Friend aware that in parts of Derbyshire 30 per cent. of the school children suffer from endemic goitre, that all of us are grateful for this long overdue reform, and that we thank his medical advisers for it?
