§ Mr. GROVESasked the Minister of Health what streptococcus was found in the throats of the two bottlers at Denham to whom the Denham scarlet fever outbreak was at first attributed?
Sir H. YOUNGI am advised that one of the persons referred to was a temporary carrier of type I streptococcus, and that in the other case the streptococcus was of a strain unconnected with the out break. I should add that the outbreak was not at any time attributed to these two persons.
