§ Miss WILKINSONasked the First Lord of the Admiralty why, in the statistical report of the health of the Navy for 1929, the practice has been discontinued of giving some information as to the possible reasons for the rise or fall of venereal diseases in the various naval 2050W stations; and if, having regard to the usefulness of this information, especially concerning the effects of chemical prophylaxis, he will consider again including such information?
Mr. ALEXANDERIt has been the custom to remark upon the rise or fall in the incidence of venereal disease only when the fluctuations are sufficiently large to warrant special investigation. This subject is receiving the constant attention of the Admiralty, and in future reports comment will be Made with regard to any serious augmentation of the figures.
