HC Deb 25 July 1974 vol 877 c553W
Dr. Reginald Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the nature of the non-bacterial organism which her Department has now found to be responsible for the recurrent gastrointestinal epidemics in Fareham and neighbouring townships.

Dr. Owen

The cause of the illness that occurred in Fareham during 1973 is still not known. Laboratory investigations are, however, continuing and meanwhile no recurrence of the disease has been reported.
