HC Deb 13 March 1939 vol 345 c50W
Mr. Viant

asked the Minister of Health whether he will supply the information on which the statement is based in the report of the Medical Research Council for the year 1937 –38 that in the City of Quebec prophylaxis by inoculation of diphtheria toxoid was not used?

Earl Winterton

I have been asked to reply. The statement in question, which refers explicitly to the year 1936 and relates to the use of immunisation as a general measure, was based particularly on information published in "Health," the organ of the Health League of Canada, in December, 1937.
