§ 84 Dr. MORRIS-JONESasked the Minister of Health the total number of persons in England and Wales who will be disqualified from serving on public bodies owing to the provisions of the Local Government Act of 1929; the categories, with the percentage, in respect of which disqualification will take place; and the number of resignations that have already been tendered?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI regret that the information asked for is not available.
§ Dr. MORRIS-JONESWill the right hon. Gentleman consider the desirability of bringing in some amending Bill in view of the very great loss to the public service owing to the disqualifications which the Act entails to a large body of public men?
§ Mr. McSHANEIs it not true that already, before this Bill has been passed, a very large number of people are prevented from serving on these bodies on exactly similar terms as medical men?
§ Mr. GREENWOODI am afraid that I cannot answer that question. On the point raised by the hon. Gentleman opposite, I am afraid that I cannot undertake responsibility for any further legislation.
