Viscountess ASTORasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will consider the advisability of submitting to Parliament the report of the Far Eastern Commission of the National Council for Combating Venereal Disease, including the commission reports on Hong Kong, Singapore and Colombo?
Mr. THOMASThe document in question is not an official report, and its publication is a matter for the National Council for Combating Venereal Disease. I regret that I should not feel justified in directing its publication at the expense of the State, but I have no doubt that the council will readily afford facilities to any hon. Members who may wish to peruse the report.
