HC Deb 07 December 1911 vol 32 c1589
Mr. DOUGLAS HALL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if the Government proposes to take any steps to compensate doctors for the loss many of them will suffer in the price obtainable for the sale of their practices owing to the working of the National Insurance Bill when it comes into operation?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I see no reason to suppose that the consequences anticipated by the hon. Member are likely to occur. On the contrary, the value of most medical practices, especially in industrial areas, must be increased by the operation of the Bill.
