HC Deb 07 August 1947 vol 441 c190W
79. Mr. Hastings

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will give the amount of penicillin provided per month by the Control Commission for use in the British zone of Germany for venereal and non-venereal cases, respectively, three months ago and also at the present time.

Mr. Mayhew

In May, 1947, the issues from official sources, in mega units, were: for venereal disease cases, 1,271, and for non-venereal disease cases, 100. An additional 2,000 were issued from non-official sources for non-venereal disease cases. For issue in August, 5,000 mega units will be available from official sources.
