§ MR. BLACK (Banffshire)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, whether, with the view of encouraging graduates from the Scottish Universities to enter the Army Medical Service, he will appoint a professor from one of the Scottish Universities upon the Army Medical Advisory Board as has been done in the case of the English and Irish Universities.
§ MR. BRODRICKIn selecting the members of the Board every care was taken to make it as representative as was consonant with the requirements of the Royal Army Medical Corps, which necessitated the personal attention of members of the Advisory Board to the interests of the Service. Dr. Galloway, a distinguished Scotch medical graduate, resident in London, lecturer at Charing Cross Hospital and formerly an examiner in the Faculty of Medicine in Aberdeen University, was selected to represent the interests of Scotland. I would, however, point out to the hon. Member that, in addition to Dr. Galloway, three of the military medical Members are graduates of Scottish Medical Schools, and Scotland is therefore exceptionally represented on the Board.
§ MR. BLACKCan the right hon. Gentleman affirm that any of the gentlemen he has referred to have any present connection with the Scottish Universities?
§ MR. BRODRICKIt is impossible to make any alteration in the constitution of the Board. I have not the least doubt that the interests of Scotland are properly cared for.
