§ Mr. Ellis Smithasked the Minister of Health what action he is taking to make known throughout the world, and encourage the manufacture on a large scale for export of, the recently perfected range of electrical equipment for hospitals and health centres.
§ Sir B. StrossWith the Board of Trade, my Department constantly encourages manufacturers to expand their exports of medical equipment.
§ Mr. Ellis Smithasked the Minister of Health if he will invite representatives of all embassies in London to visit the hospitals where the latest electro-medical scientific equipment is in use, including the stabilised thyristor power rectifier, electro- encephalographs, electron microscopes and linear accelerators, with the object of encouraging the building and equipment of hospitals in other countries by British consortia.
§ Sir B. StrossWhile representatives of embassies would be welcome to visit hospitals, I would not propose that this should replace the normal methods by which British progress in medical science and building is brought to the notice of overseas countries.
