HC Deb 06 April 1944 vol 398 cc2188-9W
Sir L. Lyle

asked the Minister of Health the number of cases of scurvy in the United Kingdom; and how this compares with April, 1943, 1942, 1941 and 1939, respectively.

Mr. Willink

Scurvy is not a notifiable disease, and accurate statistics of its incidence are not available. I regret, therefore, that I cannot give the figures asked for by my hon. Friend.
