§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Health whether he has any further information as to the causes of the rise in the mortality from tuberculosis during the past two years; and whether he will consider the possibility that, inasmuch as medical statisticians are agreed that increased incidence of tuberculosis is an indication of lowering of nutrition, one of the factors in this rise may be the negligible nutritive value of the nation's bread as at present supplied?
§ Mr. E. BrownNo, Sir. The causes of the increase in tuberculosis are at present the subject of a special inquiry by the Medical Research Council. This inquiry will have regard to all relevant factors.
