§ Mr. Lyonsasked the Minister of Labour whether, in view of the urgency of calling up for medical examination further age groups as rapidly as possible, he will consider the advisability both of increasing still further the number of medical boards at present in operation, and simultaneously of adding to the staff of doctors engaged on a part-time basis for this work, if necessary by the occasional loan of help from some of those doing duty locally with the Navy, Army and Air Force?
Mr. BeginI am satisfied that the number of medical boards at present in operation is adequate to meet all requirements for the time being. If further boards are found to be necessary in future they will be appointed.
