HC Deb 15 October 1968 vol 770 c81W
50. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Minister of Health if he will publish the evidence in his possession which indicates the social and medical dangers of the cult of scientology.

Mr. K. Robinson

The general nature of the evidence was indicated in my speech in the Adjournment Debate of 6th March, 1967 and in my Answer to the hon. Member for East Grinstead (Mr. G. Johnson Smith) on 25th July. The detailed evidence illustrating the cult's potential danger to health mainly takes the form of individual case-histories which it would be inappropriate to make public. Evidence of the social dangers has already been published widely in the Press.—[Vol. 742, c. 1221–8; Vol. 769, c.189–90.]

Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Minister of Health, whether he will publish the evidence on which he bases his statements and actions about scientology; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. K. Robinson

I would refer the hon. Member to my Answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Fife, West (Mr. William Hamilton).
