§ Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention had been drawn to the most recent discoveries with regard to the treatment of phthisis by radio-active menthol iodine; and whether, before embarking on the expense of sanatoria throughout the country, he would carefully consider alternative methods of combating the scourge?
§ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. Lloyd George)My attention has been drawn to the treatment referred to, which I understand still to be in an experimental stage. I may point out that the Bill empowers the Insurance Commissioners to expend upon research a part of the whole of the additional State Grant for sanatorium benefit.
