HC Deb 30 July 1931 vol 255 cc2451-2
42. Mr. T. LEWIS

asked the Minister of Health if he will lay upon the Table a statement of the expenditure of the Regional Dental Service and the Dental Benefit Council, showing the cost of establishing the organisation, the number of cases dealt with, and the running expenses?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I will bring my hon. Friend's request to the notice of the Dental Benefit Council.

Mr. LEWIS

Has the right hon. Gentleman not the power to issue these statements for which I ask?

Mr. GREENWOOD

We have always taken the advice of our advisory council, and I think we should do so in this case.

Mr. LEWIS

Would it be possible for me to receive the statement during the Adjournment?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I will consider that point with my hon. Friend if he will see me afterwards.
