HC Deb 09 November 1937 vol 328 c1607W
Mr. David Adams

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he is aware that in order to ward off influenza, the owners of certain Durham collieries employing some 10,000 men and boys, are supplying each man with a three weeks' supply of iodised milk tablets, an experiment successfully initiated last year; and whether he will call the attention of colliery owners generally to this health precaution with a view to its adoption throughout the industry?

Captain Wallace

I have been asked to reply. I am aware of this interesting experiment at certain collieries in Durham and Northumberland and this question will serve to call further attention to it.
