§ 47. Dr. Segalasked the Lord President of the Council whether he is aware that contributions to research in rheumatic diseases have suffered a severe falling off since the inception of the National Health Service in July last; and what action he proposes to take in the matter.
§ The Lord President of the Council (Mr. Herbert Morrison)I have no information about contributions by members of the public to unofficial organisations interested in the promotion of research into rheumatic diseases. Government aid to medical research in all branches is given through the Medical Research Council or, in the case of certain types of work, through the Ministry of Health.
