HC Deb 14 December 1944 vol 406 cc1372-3W
Mr. A. Edwards

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what were the ages of the 195 fatal cases of diphtheria in children recorded in 1943; how many fatal cases were recorded over the age of 15 years; and how many fatal cases of diphtheria have been recorded during the first six months of 1944 in children aged under five years, five to nine years, 10 to 15 years and over 15 years, respectively.

Mr. Johnston

The following analysis of deaths registered in Scotland as due to diphtheria gives the desired information:

whether steps are being taken to release these for sale at reasonable prices in the near future.

Captain Waterhouse

As far as I am aware, there is nothing to prevent Curry's, Limited, as unregistered wholesalers or as retailers, from selling as many toys as they have in stock, so long as the toys do not contain more than 10 per cent. by weight of metal.
