HC Deb 11 June 1952 vol 502 c31W
59. Mr. Braine

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what progress has been made with the scheme for eradicating disease-carrying mosquitoes from the Cayman Islands.

Mr. Hopkinson

Good progress has been made. Nearly 4,000 buildings have been sprayed, fish which eat larvae have been introduced into wells and pools, and experiments for controlling mosquitoes by the oiling of swamps and by land-clearance are being carried out.
