Excerpt from Report of the Medical Research Council: For the Year 1921 1922
May it please Your Majesty,
We, the Lords of the Committee of Your Majesty"s Privy Council for Medical Research, humbly submit to Your Majesty a Report of our proceedings during the year ending on 30th September 1922.
1. A Grant-in-aid of ?130,000 was provided by Parliament for the whole expenditure of the Medical Research Council during the present financial year, including the cost of the work of the Industrial Fatigue Research Board, and including the grants formerly made to the Board of Control (England and Wales) for the promotion of researches into mental disorders and to the Board of Control for Scotland for pathological inquiries of a routine kind.
2. It was a gratification to us to learn that the Committee on National Expenditure appointed in the past year by the Government recommended that this grant-in-aid proposed by the Treasury for medical research should not suffer reduction. Sir Eric Geddes and his colleagues reported as follows: "We are assured that the work of this Council in preventive medical research produces very substantial economies in administrative services falling on other Departments, and at a time when the prevention and combating of disease and the alleviation of physical disability is a matter of such vital concern from an economic as well as from a humanitarian point of view, we do not feel justified in recommending any reduction of a grant-in-aid of medical research conducted by a body of selected specialists.
3. The estimates of the Council for the present financial year, revised after experience of their actual expenditure during the half-year of work ending on 30th September 1922, are being met by our provisional allocation of funds under the following heads.
