HC Deb 28 April 1987 vol 115 c98W
Mr. Freeson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will provide funds for the Medical Research Council to carry out research into dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.

Mr. Walden

It is for the Medical Research Council (MRC) to decide how to apportion the grant-in-aid it receives from the Department's science budget between the various areas of research which it supports. The council is always willing to consider soundly based scientific proposals in competition with other applications.
