HC Deb 26 July 1972 vol 841 cc2014-5
Mr. Monro

I beg to move Amendment No. 30, in page 38, line 19, leave out from 'medical' to 'and' in line 20 and insert: 'dental, nursing, pharmaceutical and ophthalmic professions'. This again was an issue raised by the hon. Member for Glasgow, Kelvingrove (Dr. Miller). He was very keen and argued persuasively that we should add a number of professions to those listed in the Schedule. I told him that if it were at all possible I would do so, and I have found it possible to do so.

Dr. Miller

On behalf of the dentists, nurses, pharmacists and opticians, I thank the hon. Gentleman for the Amendment. As a quid pro quo, I offer from them the perhaps slightly tendentious claim that his teeth will receive very bright and shiny attention, his rugger bruises will be nursed with very great care, his medicines will be even more accurately dispensed than before and his glasses given an appropriate rosy hue.

Amendment agreed to.

Forward to
