HC Deb 30 March 1927 vol 204 c1272W
Mr. B. SMITH

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs why no Report regarding conditions in Great Britain is included in the Health Year Book recently published by the League of Nations?

Sir K. WOOD

I have been asked to reply. A comprehensive survey of the health condition of the country is contained in the Annual Reports of the Ministry of Health, and of the Chief Medical Officer and the Registrar-General. My right hon. Friend is not clear that the value of a summary, necessarily much condensed, of the statistics already published would be commensurate with the labour and cost involved in its preparation, but the question will be further considered.
