HC Deb 23 July 1931 vol 255 c1671
62. Dr. HASTINGS

asked the Minister of Health, in view of the fact that Clause 16 of the Local Government Act, 1929, does not necessitate a charge being made for the treatment of tuberculosis, if he will say for what reasons instructions have been issued to local authorities to make a charge for the treatment of this disease?

Mr. GREENWOOD

If my hon. Friend will furnish me with particulars of any case which he has in mind, I will communicate with him further.

Dr. HASTINGS

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that this is freely stated by the clerk to the Middlesex County Council?

Mr. GREENWOOD

No, I am not aware of that, but, if the hon. Member will discuss the matter with me, I will go into it further.
