§ Mr. GOLDSMITHasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has received any communication on the subject of extending the allowance granted to medical practitioners in Section 86 (4) of the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910, to duly qualified veterinary surgeons; and whether he has come to any decision?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEI have received representations from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons on this subject. 1390 The position of a veterinary surgeon is by no means parallel to that of a physician, and I fear I cannot extend the allowance in the manner suggested.
