HC Deb 05 December 1939 vol 355 cc460-1W
Captain Elliston

asked the Minister of Health whether extended arrangements are being made for the treatment of contagious diseases occurring in the civil population in the neighbourhood of military encampments and munition works?

Mr. Elliot

The position is under review, and I propose shortly to issue a circular to the responsible local authorities on the matter.

Captain Elliston

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the heavy incidence of contagious diseases during the last war, he will secure the support of the Naval, Military and Air Force authorities for the educational lectures and films offered by the British Social Hygiene Council for the instruction of the civilian and Service populations?

Mr. Elliot

I have been asked to reply. I will bring my hon. Friend's suggestion to the notice of my colleagues.
