§ 75. Mr. K. Robinsonasked the Minister of Health on what evidence he based his statement in July, 1963, that no recent typhoid outbreaks were attributed to contaminated corned beef, in view of the fact that the Harlow and South Shields outbreaks were so attributed in May and June, 1963, respectively.
168W
§ Mr. BarberNo such statement was made. The hon. Member's Question of 9th July, 1963, was directed to the tracing of outbreaks to a particular consignment of imported corned beef. At that date the available evidence did not justify the attribution of the outbreaks at Harlow and South Shields to a particular consignment.
