HC Deb 27 January 1931 vol 247 cc802-3W
Sir W. DAVISON

asked the Minister of Health whether instructions have been, or will be, given to officials of the Ministry at the ports concerned to inspect all imports into this country of Russian timber, including doors ready to be placed in houses, produced under in- sanitary conditions, in order to avoid danger to the public health by reason of insects bred in such conditions being imported with the timber?

Miss LAWRENCE

The answer is in the negative. My right hon. Friend is advised that there is no reason to apprehend danger to the public health from the importation of this timber.
