HC Deb 05 May 1938 vol 335 cc1063-4W
Mr. Guest

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the possible difficulty of visiting spas in Central Europe, he will consider the possibility of popularising the advantages of Welsh health resorts which are equally efficacious?

Sir K. Wood:

The opportunity has already been taken in the Annual Report of the Chief Medical Officer of the Department for the year 1935, to draw attention to the excellent work of British Spa Hospitals and to the value of British Spas. I am sending my hon. Friend an extract from this report. I may add that the British Spas Federation, working in co-operation with the Travel and Industrial Development Association of Great Britain and Ireland which has been approved by me under the Local Authorities (Publicity) Act, 1931, is making every effort to popularise British Spas at home and abroad, and information regarding British Spas and pleasure resorts is available at the Information Bureau recently opened by the association in London.
