HC Deb 10 February 1938 vol 331 c1300W
Sir F. Fremantle

asked the Minister of Health whether he will give the number of cases and deaths hitherto notified in the present outbreak of typhoid fever in the county of Somerset; and will he state whether the cause has now been traced?

Sir K. Wood

Thirty-six cases, four of them, I regret to say, fatal, have been confirmed. The source of the outbreak has not vet been determined.
