HC Deb 01 December 1936 vol 318 c1041W
Mr. GROVES

asked the Minister of Health whether the medical representative of the Ministry who has been inquiring into the Bournemouth typhoid fever outbreak has furnished him with definite proof that a certain milk supply was the cause of the outbreak; and, if SO, will he state the nature of that proof?

Sir K. WOOD

The report submitted to me on this outbreak showed that all the primary cases of enteric fever which occurred during the outbreak had consumed milk from the same source of supply, and that after this supply was pasteurised no further primary cases had occurred.
