§ 9. Dr. Strossasked the Minister of Health whether he will institute a survey of the problem of dental caries in children in London aged five years, similar to, and in the same area as, the surveys carried out in past years by Sir Edward and Lady Mellanby.
§ Mr. VosperI understand that Lady Mellanby is at present making a further survey.
§ Dr. StrossA very good answer. Thank you.
§ Dr. SummerskillCan the right hon. Gentleman tell me in writing—because I quite understand that he would not have the answer with him—whether the inquiry is limited to one age-group—
§ Mr. McAddenOn a point of order. Is it in order for those who have renounced their British nationality and adopted Norwegian to ask Questions in the House of Commons?
§ Mr. SpeakerThat is not a point of order.

§ Dr. SummerskillMay I have a reply to my supplementary question? [HON. MEMBERS: "No."] Will the Minister let me know in writing whether this new inquiry is being limited only to this age-group, or whether it will be wider, and particularly among adolescents?
§ Mr. VosperLady Mellanby told us that she was making a further inquiry. I gather that it is limited to the previous scope, but I will look at the point.
