HC Deb 27 January 1972 vol 829 c508W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will institute an inquiry into the efficacy and hazards of aorto-coronary vein grafts.

Mr. Alison

I am aware of this new development in the treatment of coronary artery disease. The Health Departments are exploring in conjunction with the Medical Research Council the possibility of a controlled clinical study of this procedure.
