RADIUM SUPPLIES
REPORT OF SUB COMMITTEE.
GOVERNMENT AID PROMISED.
(Rec. 5.5 p.m.)
Rugby, April 16.
Mr Churchill. Chancellor of the Exchequer, stated in the House of Commons that the report of the sub-committee dealing with civil research into radium would be issued immediately. The report dealt with national requirements of radium in medical treatment and for the purpose of physical research and with the possibility of developing new sources of supply. The sub-committee expressed the opinion that in order to meet the requirements of England and Scotland. 20 grammes of radium in addition to the stocks already available, or likely to be available, shortly, for general medical use, should be acquired within a specified period before the end of 1930. The sub-committee recommended that the necessary sum to provide this was estimated at £200,000 and should be raised by public appeal, to which the Government should contribute £1 for £l. The Government had accepted the financial recommendations of the sub-committee and would be prepared to contribute from the funds, up to a maximum of £lOO.OOO, £1 for every £1 subscribed.—British Official Wireless.
