HC Deb 16 December 1957 vol 580 cc1-2W
12. Mr. Lewis

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the Soviet Government officially claim to have found a complete cure for malaria, consisting, in part, of the use of a new preparation, Khinocide, used in conjunction with biogoumal or akrikhin; and whether he will seek information on this subject from the Soviet Government and arrange, if necessary, imports of khinocide so as to make this remedy available to malaria sufferers in Great Britain.

Mr. Walker-Smith

The Answer to the first part of the Question is "No." I am advised that the remedies available here are highly effective in treatment of cases in this country but I will certainly make inquiries about the first drug referred to by the hon. Member.
