§ Mr. J. Dugdaleasked the Minister of Health whether he will have an inquiry made into all proprietary medicines claiming to cure certain diseases, with a view to warning the public against those found not to act in accordance with their claims.
§ Mr. WillinkI do not think that action on these lines would be practicable. But I would remind my hon. Friend that it is already unlawful to advertise any article for the treatment of certain diseases, including cancer, diabetes, tuberculosis and venereal diseases.
