HC Deb 01 August 1911 vol 29 c176
Mr. C. BATHURST

asked whether Dr. Kaye, the medical officer of the West Riding County Council, has, at his request, investigated the claim made by Mr. A. Bryant, of Thornton, Bradford, that he has cured and is curing consumption in an advanced stage of the disease by means of gases which are given out by the maggots infesting putrifying meat; and, if so, with what result?

Mr. BURNS

I have not made any such request to Dr. Kaye.

Mr. C. BATHURST

Is the statement reported in all the papers that the right hon. Gentleman has made this investigation untrue?

Mr. BURNS

Like nineteen-twentieths of what appears about some Ministers in the papers, the opposite is the truth.
