HC Deb 27 February 1929 vol 225 cc2026-7W
Dr. LITTLE

asked the Minister of Health whether there is any estimate available of the amount of radium which is at present at the service of public institutions in Great Britain; whether there is any scheme of co-operation for its use as between public institutions; and whether, in apportioning radium bought at the public expense, any consideration has been paid to the technical experience in its use of those to whom it is supplied?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

As regards the first two parts of the question I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 31st January to the hon. Member for North Tottenham (Mr. R. Morrison) of which I am sending him a copy. The reply to the last part of the question, which is assumed to relate to the stock of radium salt entrusted to the Medical Research Council, is in the affirmative.
