HC Deb 26 October 1944 vol 404 c342
41. Mr. Salt

asked the Minster of Health to what extent questions of medical research will be dealt with in the National Health Scheme on which his department is now working.

Mr. Willink

The encouragement and assistance of research will continue to be primarily the function of the Medical Research Council which was set up by Royal Charter for the purpose. It is the Government's intention that research and opportunities for research should be continually developed with the help of the Council.
