§ Sir M. Galpernasked the Minister of Health if, in view of the present epidemic of venereal disease in Great Britain, he will set up a committee to inquire into the advisability of making treatment compulsory.
§ Mr. K. Robinson:No. Further steps are being taken to improve the tracing of contacts and I am advised that this is likely to be a more effective way to control the spread of venereal disease than compulsory treatment.
