HC Deb 22 October 1941 vol 374 cc1795-6W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Health whether he will secure the resumption of publication of the Registrar General's Reports, cessation of which constitutes a serious handicap on medical research, and was successfully avoided in the last war?

Miss Horsbrugh

The preparation of these reports has not been discontinued, though it is regretted that wartime conditions have delayed the completion of the report for 1939. It has been decided, however, to print in the first instance a very limited edition of this volume which will be held by the Registrar General and made available for consultation and study by Government Departments and other bodies or persons having an acknowledged interest in its contents. I can assure my hon. Friend that the interests of medical research will receive sympathetic treatment under this arrangement.
