HC Deb 01 August 1911 vol 29 c192
Mr. JAMES PARKER

asked whether a British subject duly qualified in the United States of America to practice the botanic system of medicine under the Medical Act there, and who is now practising in this country, would be entitled to render medical aid under the provisions of the National Insurance Bill?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

Such a person would not be a duly qualified medical practitioner unless registered under the Medical Acts; but those Acts entitle persons holding foreign diplomas, which are recognised by the General Medical Council as furnishing a sufficient guarantee of the possession of the requisite knowledge and skill, to be registered without examination.
