HC Deb 13 December 1938 vol 342 c1830W
Mr. Acland

asked the Home Secretary whether he can give any indication of the numbers of slot-machines for the sale of contraceptives in existence and of the parts of the country in which these machines are to be found; and whether there are any parts of the country and, if so, which parts, in which his Department regard the numbers of these machines in existence as a source of danger to health or to morals?

Mr. Lloyd

My right hon. Friend's attention has only been drawn to the existence of such machines in three large centres and he has no information that in any part of the country there is an appreciable number.
