§ 81. Dr. FORGANasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the nature and amount of individual State contributions to medical research in the latest year for which figures are available?
§ Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCEI fear that it is not possible to give the information desired by my hon. Friend. Inclusive grants are paid to a number of institutions such as universities, medical schools of hospitals, she London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and the Bureau of Hygiene and Tropical Diseases which include medical research among their activities; but it is not possible to distinguish the amounts applied to this purpose. Special mention should, however, be made of the grant of £100,000 last year for the purchase of radium.
§ Mr. C. WILLIAMSIf the Financial Secretary does not know the figures, how does he know whether he is giving enough or too much?
