Commander Galbraith

There were 7,421 deaths from coronary thrombosis in 1951 and 7,738 in 1952. The provisional figure for 1953 is 7.566.

24. Mr. Hubbard

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what increase there has been in the sums available for research in coronary thrombosis in Scotland in 1953.

Commander Galbraith

Since I replied to the hon. Member on this subject last June, grants have been authorised for three further projects endorsed by the Advisory Committee on Medical Research in Scotland, at a total cost of £8,090. No project in this field endorsed by the Committee has been impeded by lack of finance
