HC Deb 29 March 1965 vol 709 cc167-8W
Mr. Lomas

asked the Minister of Health if he will state the number of X-ray tests carried out in the last three months at airports and seaports on immigrants, and the number that as a result required medical attention, together with the number actually found to have tuberculosis.

Mr. K. Robinson

Such tests are carried out only at London Airport. Between 12th February, when the X-ray set installed there began working, and 26th March, 150 X-ray examinations were made and three cases of active tuberculosis found and refused entry; two cases of non-active tuberculosis were admitted.
