§ 44. Commander OLIVER LOCKER-LAMPSONasked the Minister of Health whether, seeing that insulin was the discovery of a Government official, he will take steps to prevent its manufacture except in Government laboratories?
Sir H. YOUNGMy hon. and gallant Friend has, I think, been misinformed. Insulin was first prepared at Toronto University in 1922 by Dr. F. G. Banting and others. It is manufactured in this country under licences granted under the Therapeutic Substances Act, 1925, subject to compliance with the regulations made under the Act.
§ Commander LOCKER-LAMPSONIs any made by the Government?
Sir H. YOUNGI think not, but in order to give a certain reply I should like notice of the question.
§ Commander LOCKER-LAMPSONOwing to the unsatisfactory nature of that reply, I beg to give notice that I hope to raise the matter shortly on a Motion for the Adjournment.
