§ 22. Dr. Barnett Strossasked the Minister of Health what weight of 579 streptomycin is being manufactured each month in Britain; and what type of clinical trials are now being carried out by the Medical Research Council on the treatment of tuberculosis.
§ Mr. J. EdwardsThe present production is very small, but my right hon. Friend the Minister of Supply hopes that by June it will be about 250 grammes per month. The Medical Research Council has organised clinical trials at selected hospitals in certain types of tuberculosis cases.
§ Dr. StrossIs my hon. Friend aware that our civilisation will be judged by the care we take of our sick, and, therefore, by this type of work, rather than by the possession of motor cars, refrigerators, or how many of us chew gum?
