HC Deb 15 December 1966 vol 738 c128W
37. Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many temporal bone banks are now available for research; and what steps have been taken to encourage an increased acquisition of sections and case histories for research into deafness.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

None. Research workers in this country are aware of the scheme for temporal bone banks recently introduced in the United States and the Medical Research Council will continue to keep the situation under review. Work on this subject is being carried out at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School and at the British Postgraduate Medical Federation of the University of London.
