asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what sanatorium and other facilities exist for the treatment of tuberculosis in British West Africa.
Mr. Creech Jones:
I am asking the West African Governors for full details, and I will let my hon. Friend have them later.
Mr Frederick Erroll
, Altrincham and Sale
Has the Minister no knowledge of the extent of tuberculosis in West Africa?
Mr. Creech Jones:
I have a great deal of information, but it is inadequate. I think it is better to give complete and up-to-date information in the reply.
Squadron Leader Samuel Segal
, Preston
Is it not a fact that no sanatoria for tubercular patients exist in West Africa, and is this not a reflection on our administration?
Mr. Creech Jones:
These proposals are included in the development schemes. Tuberculosis has been growing, and provision will be made in the 10-year programme.
