Mr. CATHCART WASONasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) if the Mount Vernon Hospital is intended to be used chiefly for treatment of tuberculous disease; and, if so, whether he can assure the committee that no vivisection of dogs and horses will be sanctioned in this hospital; and (2) if he will state the names of the committee of the Research Society, and also the names of the gentlemen composing the advisory committee and the chairman of both bodies; and what control the advisory committee will have on the operation of the research committee?
Mr. BENNAs regards the first question, I am afraid I cannot add anything to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Haggerston on Wednesday last and by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the 9th July last. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of the Medical Research Fund Regulations, which contain the information asked for in his second question.
