§ Mr. SWANasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will supply the names and qualifications of the dental and medical practitioners attending Zaghloul Pasha and his colleagues in the Seychelles?
Mr. HARMSWORTHThe Chief Medical Officer in the Seychelles is Mr. Joseph Bartlett Addison, M.B.E., M. R.C.S. (England), L.U.C.P (London). The Assistant Medical Officer is Mr. John Thomas Bradley, M.D. (Brussels), L.R.C.P. and L.R.C.S (Edinburgh), L.S.P. and L.S.S. (Glasgow). The dental work on the islands is performed by Mr. Donald Frances Watson, manager of the Government Pharmacy and anaesthetist, who, though not a qualified dentist, has practised on the islands for the last 20 years and whose services in this capacity are reported by the Officer Administering the Seychelles as having been of the greatest value to the community.
