§ 43. Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what progress has been made in the world-wide clinical trials in a vaccine against rubella; for how long the clinical trials have been taking place in the United Kingdom; and when he expects to receive a report on the vaccine from the Dunlop Committee.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsExtensive clinical trials of several types of vaccine are still proceeding in a number of countries and the results to date are encouraging. The United Kingdom trials have been in progress since October, 1967, under the auspices of a Joint Committee of the Medical Research Council, the Health Departments and the Public Health Laboratory Service. Questions relating to the Dunlop Committee are a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Social Services.
