HC Deb 09 November 1962 vol 666 c100W
Mr. Iremonger

asked the Minister of Health what response he has had to Circular No. 18 of 1953, urging local authorities to start cancer education schemes concerning accessible cancers; and What further action he is taking in this matter.

Mr. Powell

92 local health authorities approached the Central Council for Health Education for advice and the Council subsequently circulated advice to all authorities. I expect further guidance in due course from the Joint Committee on Health Education set up by the Health Services Councils.
