HC Deb 04 October 1939 vol 351 c1957
66. Sir F. Fremantle

asked the Minister of Health whether he will arrange for medical practitioners, now engaged for duty in hospitals at present wholly or partially empty, to be released for civil practice with liability to immediate recall in case of need?

Mr. Elliot

Yes, Sir. Letters have been sent to a number of whole-time members of the Emergency Medical Service offering to release them for civil practice under certain conditions, a copy of which I will send to my hon. Friend.
