HC Deb 31 October 1946 vol 428 cc141-2W
79. Dr. Stross

asked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to clinical experimental work in the U.S.A. with radioactive substances such as radioactive phosphorus and iodine in the treatment of inoperable cancerous growths; and whether similar work is being carried out in Britain.

Mr. Bevan

Yes, Sir. Experiments are being carried out with the small quantities of these substances obtainable in this country and it is hoped that the quantities will shortly be increased.
