HC Deb 21 December 1964 vol 704 c169W
62. Sir B. Janner

asked the Minister of Health what inquiries are proceeding into the prevalence of rickets in the various areas of the country; and whether he will set up a comprehensive inquiry to consider to what extent the reduction in Government assistance for welfare foods has contributed to this state of affairs.

Mr. K. Robinson

Further inquiries were made recently in co-operation with the medical officers of health in eleven large industrial towns. The results are awaited and further action will depend upon them.
