HC Deb 27 February 1939 vol 344 cc920-1W
Mr. Groves

asked the Minister of Health whether it is his intention to prohibit, under Clause 4 of the Cancer Bill, registered medical practitioners referring to any article calculated to lead to the use of that article in the treatment of cancer when speaking to audiences or writing for groups of people composed of persons other than those mentioned in Sub-section (4) (a) and (b)?

Mr. Elliot

In so far as such statements as the hon. Member has in mind could be held to be advertisements, I am advised that, subject to the exceptions contained in Sub-section (5), the effect of the Clause is as stated by the hon. Member.
