HC Deb 22 December 1938 vol 342 c3122W
Mr. Groves

asked the Minister of Health whether the cures of cancer by Mr. Rees Evans have been brought to his notice; and whether, in drawing up his plan for a cancer service, he has considered any of the unorthodox treatments which are claimed to have numerous successes?

Mr. Elliot

Mr. Rees Evans' claims have been brought to my notice, but so far as I am aware he has never disclosed the nature of his remedy. The Cancer Bill does not specify methods of treatment; its purpose is to provide a framework within which it will be possible for local authorities to make arrangements under which every person requiring treatment for cancer will be able to receive the treatment most appropriate to his case.
