§ Mr. FREEMANasked the Minister of Health whether the Calmette prophylactic treatment in regard to tuberculosis which has been followed by the death of 16 infants in Lubeck, Germany, is being advocated or employed in this country with the permission or under the instructions of the Ministry of Health?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe answer is in the negative. I may, however, add that the Medical Research Council has been engaged since 1925 in investigating the statistical and bacteriological evidence relating to this treatment, and I am kept informed of their researches. I am informed that two representatives of the Medical Research Council have gone to Germany to obtain further information concerning the deaths at Lubeck.
