§ Mr. Viantasked the Minister of Health what became of the passengers on the 52 vessels which were infected in 1946 with alleged chickenpox on their discharge at the English port; and if they were allowed to disperse throughout the country without any supervision.
§ Mr. BevanI have no information as to the first part of the Question. As to the second part, normally contacts with a case of chickenpox are not placed under surveillance which would only be imposed if there were special circumstances to justify it.
