§ 43. Mr. Leslieasked the Minister of Health whether he has any information about a new treatment for asthma discovered by doctors in Ceylon; whether this treatment is being investigated by medical research in Great Britain; and with what result.
§ Mr. WillinkI am aware that some experimental research on chest complaints has been carried out by three doctors in Ceylon, but so far as I know the authors do not claim that this research promises hope of cure for asthma. I understand that the Medical Research Council is considering the matter.
