HC Deb 18 June 1940 vol 362 c43W
Mr. R. C. Morrison

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour whether he is prepared to consider applications from experienced medical practitioners for inclusion upon the panel for examining recruits and to whom application should be made?

Mr. Assheton

Members of medical boards are drawn from practitioners whose names are selected by the medical officers of the Ministry of Health from lists maintained by the Central Medical War Committee. Practitioners who wish their names to be included in these lists should apply to the local medical war committee for their area.

Mr. Morrison

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour the names of the medical practitioners engaged in examining recruits at Tottenham; what other appointments they hold; and whether they are all British subjects by birth?

Mr. Assheton

I am sending the hon. Member a list of the medical practitioners appointed to the medical boards at Tottenham. As regards the remainder of the Question, I am not in a position, without making special inquiry, to give the information asked for.
