§ 55. Colonel WEDGWOODasked the Home Secretary the number of prosecutions that have been undertaken under the Dentists Act, 1921; and how many of those prosecuted would have been permitted to continue practising but for their being under the age limit set up by this Act?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONThe number of prosecutions undertaken has been four, and one of these comes within the last paragraph of the question.
§ Mr. A. V. ALEXANDERIs the hon. Gentleman aware that there is a very strong feeling of resentment through the country as to the position in which ox-service men have been placed because of their age, and if a Bill is brought in to legalise their position will it receive Government support?
Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSONI am afraid that I cannot answer that. That is a question for the Prime Minister.
