§ 38. Mr. Doigasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will introduce legislation to make statutory registration compulsory for all chiropodists in Scotland.
§ Mr. MillanMy right hon. Friend has no proposals for legislation, but I understand the matter is under discussion in the profession.
§ Mr. DoigIs my hon. Friend aware that anyone can set up as a chiropodist without any training, experience or qualifications of any kind? Does not he consider that this matter requires very urgent attention?
§ Mr. MillanThere is already statutory provision for registration under the Professions Supplementary to Medicine Act, 1960. But the matter my hon. Friend now raises is much wider, and this is a very complicated matter.
