HC Deb 18 November 1946 vol 430 c60W
Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre

asked the Lord President of the Council what provision has been made by his Department for research into the use of streptomycin; and whether any moneys have been allocated for research and production of this drug.

Mr. H. Morrison

The Medical Research Council have arranged for making controlled clinical trials of streptomycin, as soon as supplies are available, to determine its value in tuberculosis and other conditions and the best methods of its use. Funds are being allocated for the cost of this work, including the purchase of the necessary quantities of the product.
