HC Deb 16 December 1878 vol 243 c854
MR. A. MILLS

asked the Vice President of the Council, Whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce any measure to amend the Medical Act of 1858; and, whether, in the event of any such Bill being brought in, it is proposed to deal with the constitution of the Medical Council?

LORD GEORGE HAMILTON

We hope to be able to introduce and pass this Session a measure amending the Medical Act of 1858. The constitution of the Medical Council is a matter of considerable difficulty and importance, in respect to which we think further inquiry is necessary before any legislation could be attempted.
