Louis Harold Gray was the senior physicist in the Radiotherapy Research Unit of the Medical Research Council (MRC), located at the Hammersmith Hospital.
After hearing that Louis Harold Gray had been dismissed from the Hammersmith Hospital, Oliver Scott approached the British Empire Cancer Campaign (BECC) and offered to fund the establishment of a Radiobiological Research Laboratory and the following conditions be respected: the first director should be Hal Gray, the BECC should provide adequate running costs for the laboratory and there should be no disclosure of Oliver Scott’s funding the project.
