§ Mr. COWANasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to a statement issued by the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, setting forth certain amendments desired by pharmacists in the National Insurance Bill; and whether he proposes to take any action to meet the objections with which these amendments are intended to deal?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEMy attention has been called to the statement referred to in the question. With regard to the position of pharmacists under the Bill, I have already stated more than once that I anticipate that their interests will be most favourably affected by its operation. I may add that I shall give very careful consideration to any proposals for the amendment of the Bill which the pharmacists think desirable in their interests.
