HC Deb 02 June 1908 vol 189 c1725
* CAPTAIN FABER (Hampshire, Andover)

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether, with reference to the meeting held in Berlin on 23rd May with the object of founding an international association for the prosecution of cancer research, he will promise the assistance of this country in that direction.

MR. ASQUITH

No, Sir; as at present advised I am not disposed to give such a promise as the hon. Member suggests. The Imperial Cancer Research Fund, which is supported by Government, is doing all it can in the encouragement of individual intercourse and exchange of material between investigators of different countries.

MR. ARTHUR LEE

Is this Government support financial or moral?

MR. ASQUITH

asked for notice of the Question.
