§ 5. Mr. Reynoldsasked the Minister of Health what action he has taken with regard to the Resolution of the House of 8th April, 1960, concerning medical research.
§ The Minister of Health (Mr. Enoch Powell)The terms of the Resolution were brought to the attention of hospital boards. Four boards have since begun further projects of research into renal disease.
§ Mr. ReynoldsWhile I am grateful for the action taken by the Minister, may I ask whether he would consider giving special assistance to any teaching hospital or university prepared to endow a chair in the subject of medical research, with special reference to kidney and allied diseases?
§ Mr. PowellI doubt whether that is a question for my Department.
