HC Deb 05 March 1925 vol 181 cc641-2
74. Sir A. BUTT

asked the Minister of Health whether his Department is initiating or assisting any research for the purpose of discovering an anti-toxin for influenza which could be generally employed?

Sir K. WOOD

Research is being vigorously prosecuted under the auspices of the Medical Research Council as well as by pathologists in my Department, but my right hon. Friend is advised that present knowledge gives no immediate prospect of a discovery of an anti-toxin suitable for general use in cases of influenza.
