HC Deb 14 February 1980 vol 978 cc764-5W
Mr. Pawsey

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what amount has been spent by the Medical Research Council on research into Huntington's chorea over each of the past five years.

Mr. Macfarlane

None of the research on Huntington's chorea supported by the Medical Research Council over the past five years has been in the form of separately costed projects, but has in each case been a varying part of a wider research programme. The council estimates the costs of the relevant parts of the wider research programmes as follows:

1976–77 £16,000
1977–78 £41,000
1978–79 £30,000
1979–80 £29,000
