Orders of the Day — Ministry of Health Bill. (26 Feb 1919)

Sir William Cheyne: I wish, in the first instance, to congratulate the President of the Local Government Board on bringing in this Bill, which I believe, when it is suitably amended, will provide a fair basis for the erection of a great organisation. I do not propose to say much to-night, because now, fortunately, we have in the House a number of medical men who have practised in different branches of the...

Oral Answers to Questions — Soldiers (Sanatorium Treatment). (20 Mar 1919)

Sir William Cheyne: Is it the best treatment for tuberculosis to diminish the food supply by one-half?

Orders of the Day — Nurses' Registration Bill. (28 Mar 1919)

Sir William Cheyne: It is rather a work of supererogation to take part in this Debate, because the tone of the House is clearly unanimously in favour of the Bill. I should like to join those who have suggested that the Government ought to take this Bill under its own aegis, and the natural Department of the Government to do so is the coming Ministry of Health. I hope that they will consider that point. Nursing...

Oral Answers to Questions — Army Officers (Pulmonary Tuberculosis). ( 1 Apr 1919)

Sir William Cheyne: 8. asked the Secretary of State for War if he will state how many officers are still in the Army who are suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis; how many suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis have been discharged from the Army since 4th August, 1914; how many officers and ex-officers suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis have been given appropriate treatment since 4th August, 1914; and how...

Sir William Cheyne: I beg to second the Amendment.

Orders of the Day — Animals (AnÆSthetics) Bill. ( 2 May 1919)

Sir William Cheyne: I desire to express my cordial sympathy with this Bill. Perhaps on this question I feel more sympathetic than many other people, because one of the great grievances of those who have been employed trying to discover the secrets of nature by experiments on animals has been the persecution we have been put to by people who, in their dealings with animals for gain or pleasure, have had no regard...

Orders of the Day — Housing and Town Planning (Scotland) Bill. ( 5 May 1919)

Sir William Cheyne: With all that has been said about the necessity of building a large number of houses and doing it quickly I quite agree, and I shall not enter into that question at all. I should like, however, to make a few remarks from the health side, and that leads me to the question—what do you mean by housing for the purposes of health, and more especially the question where are you going to put your...

Oral Answers to Questions — Palestine Force.: Married Officers and Men. ( 7 May 1919)

Sir William Cheyne: 56. asked the Secretary for War what arrangements are being made for the accommodation of married officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of regiments which are being sent to Palestine next autumn?

Orders of the Day — Dogs' Protection Bill. (27 Jun 1919)

Sir William Cheyne: I beg to move, to leave out from the word "That" to the end of the Question, and to insert instead therof the words this House declines to proceed further with a measure which would impose an unnecessary and vexatious obstacle to medical research. I have not as yet spoken in this House on this Bill. On the last occasion I did not speak partly because it was not necessary and partly because...

Orders of the Day — Dogs' Protection Bill. (27 Jun 1919)

Sir William Cheyne: I say that this is what it implies; and for these reasons it is alleged that it is necessary to tie the hands of medical men still further, even though such a proceeding may involve a serious loss to humanity. I can speak on this matter from first-hand knowledge, because at one time I held certificates and licences for a number of years, and later on in my career I became one of those men who...

Orders of the Day — Dogs' Protection Bill. (27 Jun 1919)

Sir William Cheyne: I quite appreciate your objection. I was only trying to show by a very simple illustration what an experiment means. I wanted to show that experiments on animals were the continuation of research, and that they were not merely carried on in order to see what might happen. It is a very important point. The main object of research is to get at the actual functions of various parts of the body,...

Orders of the Day — Dogs' Protection Bill. (27 Jun 1919)

Sir William Cheyne: It is a small point, but I want to suggest that a great many experiments would have been prevented by reason of the delay involved in getting these certificates. This is a very intricate question. I am a new Member of the House, and it is somewhat difficult to keep within the rules of order in a case like this, but I am sure Mr. Speaker is perfectly fair. All I was trying to do, however, was...

Orders of the Day — Dogs' Protection Bill. (27 Jun 1919)

Sir William Cheyne: I was going to say about Harvey that I did not mean for one moment that he would not have been able to do the experiments if these certificates had existed. However, I will leave that. I have no right to say that an experiment was stopped. I only say that experiments would have been stopped if these obstacles had existed. I will pass from the question of experiments on animals as being proved...

Orders of the Day — Dogs' Protection Bill. (27 Jun 1919)

Sir William Cheyne: it is a very curious thing that we have been passing two Bills, a Scotch and an English Bill, on health, and we are engaged in considering a Housing Bill, and at the same time we are considering the possibility of putting greater and greater restrictions on what is at the basis of the success of those Bills, namely, the advancement of knowledge. We are proposing to improve health, and I am...

Oral Answers to Questions — India.: Royal Army Medical Corps (Temporary Officers). (19 Nov 1919)

Sir William Cheyne: 77. asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware of the discontent among the temporary Royal Army Medical Corps officers with the Army in India on account of the manner in which their contracts of service are being interpreted; that men who had signed contracts in 1917 until the termination of the present emergency or until their services are no longer required, whichever shall happen...

Oral Answers to Questions — Prisoners of War (Awards for Help). (17 Feb 1920)

Sir William Cheyne: 32. asked the Secretary of State for War if he will state what progress is being made as regards acknowledging the indebtedness of this country to those inhabitants of Belgium and France who helped our prisoners of war and especially to those who assisted them to escape, often at great risk to themselves; what form the proposed acknowledgment is to take; and whether, even though the list may...
