HC Deb 21 May 1986 vol 98 cc183-4W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what research has been and is being funded by the Medical Research Council into the causes, prevention and treatment of photosensitivity.

Mr. Walden

I understand that in the financial year 1984–1985 the Medical Research Council spent £227,000 on projects which have relevance to the causes, prevention and treatment of photosensitivity. I have asked the council to write to the right hon. Member with details.
