HC Deb 14 December 1959 vol 615 c111W
106. Mr. de Freitas

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, as representing the Minister for Science, what report he has received from the Therapeutic Substances Testing Board of the Agricultural Research Council about a drug which will cure or prevent fowl pest.

Mr. John Hare

The attention of the Veterinary Therapeutic Testing Board has been drawn to a substance marketed under the name of HEL-A-MIN 100 for the treatment of fowl pest. The manufacturers have been asked to supply certain information which will enable the Board to determine whether there is a case for testing this product. We are still awaiting a reply from the firm.
