§ Mr. Parkerasked the Minister of Health whether steps will be taken to inoculate the civilian population, beginning with Civil Defence and other key workers, against typhoid, tetanus, etc., in case of the danger of epidemics following serious air raids?
Mr. M. MacDonaldI do not think that any such general inoculation of the civilian population is practicable or indeed advisable. Inoculation may, however, in particular circumstances and for some diseases be of value, and facilities are available for anti-typhoid and anti-tetanus inoculation where required.
