§ 64. Mr. Hastingsasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been called to the treatment of disseminated sclerosis by the Margolies-Shubladze vaccine; to what extent the results obtained by its use have been successful; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithI know of this vaccine, but am advised that the evidence at present available is not sufficient to enable an opinion to be given on its efficacy or safety in treatment.
§ Mr. C. R. Hobsonasked the Minister of Health if his attention has been called to the new Russian vaccine which is reported to ease if not cure those people suffering from multiple sclerosis; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Barking (Mr. Hastings) today.
