asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she is satisfied that her Department's leaflet on the danger of malaria is being made available by airlines and air tour operators to all intending travellers to countries where the disease is still endemic; and if she will place copies of the leaflet in the Library of the House of Commons.

The general leaflet "Notice to Travellers", produced by my Department, contains advice on the risks of travelling to or through malarious countries and on measures to protect health. In addition, a new leaflet dealing specifically with malaria has been produced. British Airways are taking steps to ensure that this leaflet is available to travellers, and copies have been sent to 83 foreign airlines. Copies of the leaflet have also been sent to the Association of British Travel Agents for distribution to its 5,000 members, and to the Airline Users Committee for its air travel organisers. I am always glad to receive any suggestions for improving our publicity. I am arranging for a copy of both leaflets to be placed in the Library of the House.
