§ Mr. OLIVER LOCKER- LAMPSONasked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been drawn to a recent decision of the General Medical Council in regard to a medical practitioner connected with the Sandow Institute; and whether he will consider the advisability of recommending an inquiry by way of Royal Commission into the constitution of and powers exercised by the General Medical Council?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI see no sufficient reason for instituting such an inquiry.
§ Mr. LOCKER- LAMPSONAs the General Medical Council is the only professional tribunal with disciplinary powers, from whose decision there is no appeal whatever, does the right hon. Gentleman consider this body's virtual combination of the functions of prosecutor, judge, and jury is consistent with the principles of justice?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI do not in the least agree with the hon. Member's representation.
