HC Deb 12 February 1964 vol 689 c82W
112. Dr. Bray

asked the Lord President of the Council and Minister for Science if he will take steps to provide Professor Ian Bush and his team with adequate resources for their research into chemical aspects of mental illness, so that they do not have to emigrate to the United States of America.

Mr. Hogg

The hon. Member is misinformed. As Professor Bush has repeatedly made clear, his intention to emigrate to the United States of America has nothing whatever to do with the adequacy of the resources for the research work referred to in the Question. Since 1958 Professor Bush has in fact been provided by the Medical Research Council and the Regional Hospital Board with all the support he has ever asked for for this purpose and he has more than once paid public tribute to the generosity of his treatment by the Medical Research Council.
