HC Deb 21 June 1978 vol 952 c235W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many cases of poliomyelitis have been reported in 1978 to date; if there has been any increase in vaccination in recent months; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Moyle

No cases have been confirmed in England in 1978. However, there is currently an outbreak in Holland and travellers visiting that country—though not those in transit—should consult their doctors on the need for vaccination.
