HC Deb 01 May 1919 vol 115 cc376-7W
Mr. L. SCOTT

asked the President of the Local Government Board if he is now in a position to indicate what practical assistance he can offer to the port sanitary authorities of the country towards providing hospital accommodation for infectious cases as urged by the Army Medical Council and the Local Government Board, and as discussed at a recent conference convened by the Local Government Board?

Dr. ADDISON

The whole question of port sanitary administration is at present under consideration, and the Local Government Board are in communication with the Treasury on the subject. I hope at an early date to be able to announce what action is feasible.
