HC Deb 22 December 1965 vol 722 c484W
Mr. Wall

asked the Prime Minister why the grant sponsored by the Medical Research Council for tubercular diseases of the spine has been stopped, resulting in the curtailment of the supply of essential drugs and antibiotics for the treatment of 75 Africans in Mpilo Hospital, Bulawayo.

Mrs. Castle

I have been asked to reply.

The grant was stopped in accordance with the Government policy to cease British aid to Rhodesia at the time of the illegal declaration of independence.
