HC Deb 21 May 1962 vol 660 c14W
67. Sir A. Hurd

asked the Minister of Health what steps he is taking to increase the supply of gamma globulin for use during early pregnancy as a precaution against German measles with the risk of congenital abnormalities, so that the full dose may be generally available on medical advice.

Miss Pitt:

My right hon. Friend has asked the Medical Research Council to assess the national requirement of gamma globulin for protection against rubella and other purposes. Meanwhile supplies are being imported.
