HC Deb 18 November 1982 vol 32 c282W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what progress is being made towards a safer whooping cough vaccine.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The Department is supporting the work in this field which is being carried out at the centre for applied microbiology and research and, as I indicated in my reply to the hon. Member for Dundee, West (Mr. Ross) on 27 October 1982—[Vol. 29, c.435]—it is progressing satisfactorily.
