HC Deb 29 June 1966 vol 730 c311W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Minister of Health what funds have been made available by his Department for research into a cure or possible cure for the disease of multiple sclerosis.

Mr. K. Robinson

None specifically. The main agency for the allocation of Exchequer moneys to medical research is the Medical Research Council which is the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Science.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Minister of Health whether he will provide funds so as to enable a thorough examination to be made by suitably qualified medical experts into the effectiveness or otherwise of a method of treatment of multiple sclerosis devised by Professor le Gae.

Mr. K. Robinson

No. Extensive research into this disease is already being undertaken by qualified research workers who are aware of the method of treatment devised by Professor le Gae.
