HC Deb 14 July 1856 vol 143 c733
MR. KINNAIRD

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the intention of the Government to grant a new Charter of Incorporation to the Royal College of Physicians of London?

SIR G. GREY

said, for some years past communications had taken place on the subject, and the details of a new charter had from time to time been under consideration, but postponed in consequence of the different proposals made to Parliament touching the medical profession. However, as a new charter could not be granted without an Act of Parliament, there was no present intention of granting one.
