HC Deb 30 January 1940 vol 356 c991W
Mr. Groves

asked the Minister of Health in connection with Circular D. 17 /1939–40 of the British Medical Association Central Emergency Committee, to what extent the Central War Medical Committee is an independent body and not subordinated to or within the administration of the British Medical Association?

Mr. Elliot

The circular to which the hon. Member refers was not issued with my knowledge or assent. The Central Medical War Committee's functions were determined by the Government and, as indicated in my reply to a Question by the hon. Member on 7th November, the committee is not confined to members of the association.
