HC Deb 31 March 1969 vol 781 cc23-4W
80. Mr. Fortescue

asked the Secretary of State for Social Service why the manufacturers' advice that the use of the anti-measles vaccine Wellcovax should be immediately suspended was conveyed by his Department to general practitioners through letters to medical officers of health and not through the Press, radio and television.

Mr. Crossman

The occasion was not such as to call for the methods of communication suggested by the hon. Member.
