302 Indian Wool and Anthrax Infection. Colonel PERKINS asked the Home Secretary whether he was satisfied that the provision of a disinfecting station at Liverpool was the best means of protecting British workers against infection from material which contained the germs of anthrax; and whether, seeing that this disinfecting station could not possibly protect dock workers handling such material, he would undertake to explore thoroughly the first means of protection suggested by general conference of the International Labour Organisation of the League of Nations, 1919-viz., the disinfection of material infected with anthrax spores in the country exporting such material. - Mr. HENDERSON replied : The Home Office has throughout been fully alive to the desirability of arranging, if practicable, for disinfection in the country of export; and with this object in view, immediately after the Home Office committee on anthrax reported in 1918, representations were made to the Government of India, from which country the greater part of the infected material comes. The Government of India, however, have not seen their way to arrange for disinfection in India, and we have therefore been thrown back on the alternative of providing for disinfection at the port of entry in this country. Under the arrangements in force at Liverpool the material is conveyed direct from the ship to the disinfecting station, so that the risk to the dock workers is reduced to a minimum. TUESHAT, AUGUST 5TH National Health Insurance Bill. J,ne national neaitii -Insurance uiii. a consolidating measure which has already passed the House of Lords, went through Committee without amendment. On the motion for the third reading, Sir KINGSLEY WOOD congratulated the Government on getting this Bill through so expeditiously. It would be of considerable advantage to the approved societies. Mr. GREENWOOD (Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health) said that the reason why the Bill was being pressed forward before the recess was on account of the regulations. It was the intention that the regulations should be com- pleted in order to come into operation on Jan. lst, 1925. Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLE said he wished to say from the point of view of medical men that this Consolidation Bill was of serious importance as regarded the efficiency of the operation of National Insurance. He trusted that the approved societies would realise more fully from this Bill what they could do under the law and what they had not already done. There were various measures of prevention which ought to be carried out, and he hoped that steps would be taken to bring these important preventive measures into operation in the interests of the health of the community. The Bill was read a third time. Wor7crraen’s Compensation Bill. Mr. R. DAVIES (Under Secretary to the Home Office) in moving the second reading of the Workmen’s Compensation (Silicosis) Bill, which has passed through the House of Lords, said that under the existing scheme workmen’s compensa- tion could not be paid in cases where men were suffering from both silicosis and tuberculosis. This Bill proposed that compensation should be paid in such cases. It was an agreed measure. Medical men who had made a study of this problem had not been able to draw the line where silicosis ended and tuberculosis began. Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLE supported the Bill as a right and reasonable extension of the law in this connexion. The Bill was read a second time. PRINCE OF WALES’S HOSPITAL, TOTTENHAM.- Following upon the resignation of Mr. J. B. Banister from the post of gynaecologist to the Prince of Wales’s Hospital on his appointment to the Charing Cross Hospital, the governors have invited Mr. Arthur Giles, consulting gyngeco- logist to the hospital, to resume active work on the staff as senior gynaecologist, and have appointed Mr. Aubrey Goodwin as gynaecologist.
