HC Deb 21 October 1912 vol 42 c1721
74. Sir PHILIP MAGNUS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what additional sum he is prepared to recommend Parliament to set aside for the provision of medical benefit under the National Insurance Act; and, if so, whether he can state what would be the normal amount offered for each insured person, with or without drugs, and what arrangements have been suggested for securing, where necessary, exceptional medical or surgical treatment?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I hope to make a statement on this subject in the course of a few days.

Sir P. MAGNUS

Can the right hon. Gentleman say definitely when he is likely to make that statement?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

Probably on Wednesday.
