HC Deb 28 June 1928 vol 219 c687
32. Mr. KELLY

asked the Minister of Health whether he will state the reason for the request made by his Department that unclaimed bodies of deceased patients in the Park Prewet and Brook-wood Asylums, and other mental institutions under the Farnham Union, should be handed over to the University of Oxford for anatomical examination?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The request to which the hon. Member refers has been made to these and other similar institutions, in order to assist in the provision, under proper safeguards, of unclaimed bodies for anatomical examination, which is indispensable to medical education.
