HC Deb 16 July 1974 vol 877 cc69-70W
43. Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she is satisfied that adequate warning is given to British holidaymakers visiting malarial areas on the need to take prophylactic drugs.

Dr. Owen

Travellers are warned of malaria and of the necessary precautions to be taken in an official leaflet entitled "Notice to Travellers—Health Protection". This is distributed widely, free of charge, to members of the public, general practitioners, local authorities, travel agents, and other organisations, and gives general advice to persons travelling abroad. I am always open to consider suggestions for improving the distribution of this leaflet.
