§ 40. Mr. Lewisasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, as a means of assisting the poor, disabled, sick and old-age pensioners who have to make use of the National Health Service, he will consider in his forthcoming Budget removing all charges made to users of the National Health Service.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterNo, Sir.
§ Mr. LewisAre we to take it that the only chance that the people will have of getting a free National Health Service again is to wait until the next General Election, when a Labour Government will come in?
Mr. Boyd-Carpenter If they look at it in that way, the people will no doubt recall that this process started under the late Administration.
