HC Deb 15 November 1944 vol 404 cc1974-5W
Sir Ian Fraser

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that in a certain town there are fifty-four dozen teats and eighteen dozen valves for babies' bottles being held at a rest centre, while none are to be bought in chemists' or other shops, and, in view of the lessening risk of such a large number of babies having to be provided for in this rest centre, will he release the goods mentioned for ordinary public sale, and, if these conditions apply in the country generally, consider the matter nationally.

Mr. Willink

I have already given instructions that all but a limited stock of the small quantity of rubber teats for babies' bottles kept in rest centres shall be released and made available for distribution. I will have special inquiry made into the district my hon. and gallant Friend has in mind.
