HC Deb 13 June 1928 vol 218 cc976-7
56. Sir R. THOMAS

asked the Minister of Health if he will give a statement showing the actual number and the number per thousand of population of deaths from cancer in each of the counties of Wales and Monmouthshire for the years 1907, 1912, 1917, 1922, and 1927?

Sir K. WOOD

As the answer involves a tabular statement, I will, with the hon. Member's permission, circulate the statement in the OFFICIAL REPORT. Figures for 1907 are not, however, available by administrative counties.

Following is the statement:

the number of British subjects who have been treated?

Sir K. WOOD

My right hon. Friend regrets that this information is not in his possession.

Mr. HOBE-BELISHA

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether these experiments on monkeys are legal?

Sir K. WOOD

I should like notice of that question.

Mr. SEXTON

Can the right hon. Gentleman inform the House whether the grafting of the monkey gland into the human system carries with it any of its original temperament or characteristics?
