§ 47. Sir M. Lindsayasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that a firm of Birmingham solicitors, whose name has been sent to him, have written 25 to his Department's legal adviser twice since 17th January, seeking advice in regard to a case of ill-health, but have received no reply other than an acknowledgment card after the second letter; and what disciplinary action he proposes to take against this officer, to ensure greater courtesy and promptitude in dealing with correspondence within the Department.
§ Mr. PowellI greatly regret the delay. My hon. Friend has been sent an explanation of the circumstances.
§ Sir M. LindsayI am obliged to my right hon. Friend.
