HC Deb 07 November 1911 vol 30 c1616W
Sir WALTER MENZIES

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can see his way to introduce a Clause into the National Insurance Bill providing that insured persons who have lost faith in, or who have conscientious objections to, orthodox medical treatment, may be allowed to consult unregistered medical practitioners, such as herbalists, etc., if they so desire; and would such unregistered practitioner be allowed on the panel for a district?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I would refer my hon. Friend to the provisions of Clause 14 (3) of the Bill as amended in Committee. As regards the second question, the answer is in the negative.
