§ Sir E. Graham-littleasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that while the increased incidence of tuberculosis in females of the age group 15 to 25 is maintained, there is a sharp rise in two new categories, children under five years of age and inmates of mental hospitals; what suggestions the Medical Research Council has made to explain the rise in the first category, young women; and whether he has any explanation of the rise in the two new categories cited?
§ Mr. E. BrownYes, Sir. The points referred to in the second and third parts of the Question will, I understand, be dealt with in the report on the inquiry made by the Medical Research Council, which I am expecting to receive very shortly.
