§ Mr. Collickasked the Lord President of the Council if he will make a statement giving the results of the experiments and investigations conducted by, or under the auspices of the Medical Research Council, into the use of cortisone, compound E, in the treatment of rheumatism, arthritis and allied diseases.
§ Mr. H. MorrisonIt is too early for any results to be available, although useful progress has been made. The supply 21W of this scarce substance from America has hitherto been in minute quantities sufficient only for experimental purposes, but amounts are now being received which will allow tests to be made on a small group of specially selected patients.
