§ 29. Mr. CHARLES BROWN (for Mr. THORNE)asked the Minister of Health if he will state what recent experiments have been made in ascertaining the cause of cancer; whether his Department has any knowledge of recent experiments dealing with blood changes affecting dead tissue, especially in the female; and what steps are being taken to give financial aid to British research workers so that they may be adequately equipped for the endeavour to find the cure for cancer?
§ Mr. D. GRENFELLIs not the right hon. Gentleman convinced that the time has come for a special inquiry into the incidence of cancer, especially in view of the necessity of ascertaining the effect of industrial processes on cancer?
Sir H. YOUNGThe matter requires careful consideration, and perhaps the hon. Member will be good enough to put the question down.
