HC Deb 01 December 1949 vol 470 c117W
96. Mr. Touche

asked the Minister of Health how long the St. Giles Home near Chelmsford has been used for the treatment of lepers, and whether during that period any cases had arisen of this disease being contracted by people in the neighbourhood.

Mr. Blenkinsop

I understand that the home has been used for 35 years and that no cases of local infection with leprosy are known.
