HC Deb 08 July 1937 vol 326 c577W
Mr. Mathers

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can make any statement on the meeting of the General Advisory Health Council of the League of Nations; and, in particular, what steps it is proposed to take as regards the proposal that the populations of tropical and sub-tropical territories should be included in the scope of the inquiry on nutrition?

Viscount Cranborne

His Majesty's Government have not yet received the full report of the meeting of the General Advisory Health Council. As regards the second part of the question, the Council of the League of Nations at its last Session referred to the Health Committee of the League the suggestion that the special problem of nutrition in tropical and subtropical territories should be included in the Health Organisation's inquiry into nutrition.
