HC Deb 12 February 1948 vol 447 c574
58. Mr. Medland

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that the Exchange Control Medical Advisory Committee; Tavistock House, Tavistock Square, London, whose duty it is to scrutinise medical certificates required by patients before and during their stay in sanatoria in Switzerland, to enable them to maintain themselves and pay for the necessary maintenance, are in some cases asking for a fee of four guineas, and if he will order this practice to cease.

The Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Mr. Glenvil Hall)

Yes, Sir. I have this matter under urgent consideration, and I hope to be able to devise some alternative method.
