§ Lord Aveburyasked Her Majesty's Government:
How long Mr. N. J. B. Evans spent at each of the posts he visited on the Indian sub-continent in connection with the Yellowlees inquiry into the medical examination of immigrants, and why no reports of his visit were included in the Yellowlees Report.
§ Lord Cullen of AshbourneIn connection with his report to Sir Henry Yellowlees, Dr. N. J. B. Evans spent seven days in Bangladesh (of which one day was spent in Sylhet and the remainder in Dacca), seven days in India (of which two days were in Bombay and the remainder in Delhi) and four days in Pakistan (of which one day was spent visiting Mirpur and the remainder in Islamabad). The report incorporates the outcome of the visit overseas—for example, in the review of current examination procedures (paragraphs 3.1 to 3.6), and the discussion of the use of x-rays for estimating age (Appendix 1)—and also of the inquiries Sir Henry and Dr. Evans made in this country.
