§ 40. Lieut.-Colonel Sir Thomas Mooreasked the Minister of Health how much aureomycin was imported from the United States of America during the nine months period ended 30th September, 1950.
§ Mr. BevanOne hundred and forty thousand and seventy-five grammes, apart from small quantities for sample and trial purposes.
§ Sir T. MooreAs I am sure the Minister knows that this is regarded by the medical profession as a life-saving drug in the case of bronchial diseases, how can the Government justify spending millions of dollars on importing tobacco while limiting the import of the drug?
§ Mr. BevanI would urge hon. Members not always to believe everything they hear about every drug which is produced on the other side of the Atlantic.
