HC Deb 13 June 1986 vol 99 c318W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what research has been supported by his Department into Reye's disease; and what has been the cost.

Mr. Walden

I understand from the Medical Research Council that it is not supporting any research into Reye's syndrome. Research relevant to Reye's syndrome may be conducted in universities and medical schools using funds allocated for teaching and research on the advice of the University Grants Committee. Details of any such work are not collected centrally.
