HC Deb 11 February 1913 vol 48 c698
72. Mr. BARNES

asked the Secretary to the Treasury if any arrangement can be made whereby workmen away from home on the business of their employers can be attended to, in the event of illness, by doctors on the panels in the place in which they may be taken ill; and is he aware that many men who habitually work away from home have not had their medical tickets endorsed because of the uncertainty on the point?
