77. Mr. ROSTRON DUCKWORTHasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been called to the statement by the Radium Commission that the present condition of radium supplies in the country presents a serious problem; and whether any steps can be taken to increase the supply of this commodity for the benefit of the hospital?
§ Sir K. WOODMy hon. Friend refers, I assume, to the Sixth Annual Report laid before the National Radium Trust by the Radium Commission. I am informed that the Trust have the report now under consideration, but that they are not yet in a position to make a statement as to their proposals.
Mr. DUCKWORTHWill the Minister consider an application for further grants from the Government in respect of this very important service?
§ Sir K. WOODI think we must await the consideration of the trust.
