HC Deb 03 December 1948 vol 458 c226W
Mr. Janner

asked the Minister of Health what was the number of lepers in this country in each of the last 10 years.

Mr. Bevan

I regret that particulars are not available in the form requested by my hon. Friend. But leprosy cases in this country at any given time are few, and any fluctuations is not material. The number of which I have information at present is 29.
