81. Mr. R. S. YOUNGasked the Minister of Health whether, in judging the value of any apparently successful treatment of cancer submitted to him, originating outside the recognised medical profession, his Department is governed by the reports of its scientific composition or by results achieved in its application to specific cases?
§ Mr. GREENWOODMy Department is guided by all relevant information available, including both points mentioned in the question.
Mr. YOUNGIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that in 1923 Mr. Evans was requested by his Department to submit the names of 20 patients whom he claimed to have cured, that Mr. Evans supplied 30 names, and not one of those people has been communicated with by the Department at all?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI was not there in 1923.
§ Mr. STEPHENWill the right hon. Gentleman make inquiry into those facts?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI shall be very glad to do so.
