To the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, Aldermen and Common
of the City of London, in Common Council assembled.
REPORT—SANITARY COMMITTEE.
We have farther considered the Report of the Medical Officer of Health
for 1909, which was referred back to us at the last Court in view of
the following paragraph therein contained, to which we directed your special
attention:—
"It is to be feared that matters connected with the public health will
"continue to be neglected or be treated as of minor importance in the
"councils of the nation until the creation of a Minister of Public Health
"is advocated by all parties.
This the Medical Officer has slightly varied, and the sentence now reads as
follows:—
"It is to be feared that matters connected with the public health will
"be neglected or treated as of minor importance in the councils of the
"nation until the creation of a Minister of Public Health is advocated
"by all parties."
Having given our special attention to the point raised by the Medical Officer,
we beg to report that we are in sympathy with his opinion, and recommend
that the said Report be printed and circulated amongst the Members of the
Court as usual, and that a copy thereof be forwarded to the Local Government
Board, the London County Council, the Metropolitan Borough Councils,
and others.
All which we submit to the judgment of your Honourable Court. Dated
this sixth day of June, 1910.
Signed on behalf of the Committee,
W. BULL,
Chairman.
