HC Deb 13 May 1969 vol 783 c209W
Mr. Brooks

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will place restraints upon medical experiments, including those performed in hospitals, which involve the test-tube fertilisation of human ova.

Mr. Crossman

I understand the concern felt by my hon. Friend, and am consulting my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Science, who is responsible for the Medical Research Council, under whose auspices most fundamental work in medical research is carried out.
