HC Deb 05 March 1924 vol 170 c1412W
Mr. BECKER

asked the Minister of Health if the Schick's diphtherine reaction test is still permitted by him; and is it still permitted to experiment with this test upon children?

Mr. WHEATLEY

I am not aware that any permission on my part is required in this matter. Local authorities have been advised by my Department that the consent of the parents or guardians should be obtained before the test is applied to children.
