HC Deb 16 February 1944 vol 397 cc194-5W
Major Markham

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether any member of the Boyd-Orr Committee on infantile mortality visited any area outside Scot- land or London in connection with the committee; whether any attempt was made to interview and ascertain the opinion of scientists outside the medical profession; and whether any attempt was made to secure recent information on the methods of dealing with infantile mortality in Iceland, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles, other than through the children's bureau at Washington.

Mr. Johnston

The Chairman of the Committee informs me that the Committee did not make any visits, nor take any oral evidence during the course of their inquiry, but that they obtained and studied all information which they considered necessary for the purposes of their remit.
