HC Deb 13 February 1940 vol 357 cc590-1W
Sir H. Morris-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for War what measures are being taken at present, in the Army at home and abroad, for the prevention and treatment of venereal disease?

Mr. Stanley

Every endeavour is made by means of lectures and talks to prevent soldiers from exposing themselves to the danger of infection. Facilities for cleansing and disinfection are available. Treatment is carried out by specially trained medical officers on modern lines. Patients are retained in special wards until free from infection and treatment is continued until complete cure is attained.
