HC Deb 03 March 1966 vol 725 c329W
6. Mr. Woodhouse

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will increase the funds avail able for research into the causes and cure of multiple sclerosis.

Mr. Prentice

No. The allocation of grant-in-aid for medical research is a matter for the scientific judgment of the Medical Research Council which is currently supporting a sizeable programme of research related to multiple sclerosis.
