Ceylon has been considering appointing a Woman Doctor to Cook after the Women's Hospitals, as suggested by the late Principal Civil Medical Officer. In his last Report, he says: "The Lock Hospital at Colombo is in charge of the Lady Doctor, and I believe she will be the means of inducing more women to voluntarily avail themselves of the treatment so liberally provided for them." I request you to favour me with your views on this suggestion.

6. I have stated above that I am not prepared to sanction the registration of brothels, but I consider it likely that steps should be taken to check the increase in the number of brothels, which appears to have occurred at certain places. I am not aware if a similar increase has arisen in the Straits Settlements since the former registration system was abolished. I do not think that the Law should provide for prescribing certain districts within which brothels shall or shall not be allowed, but I am of the opinion that power should be given to...

...which will apparently require fresh legislation.
