HC Deb 03 April 1947 vol 435 cc358-9W
Mr. F. Noel-Baker

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that some doctors issuing certificates to patients requiring priority milk are charging fees for such certificates; and what action he will take.

Mr. Bevan

There is nothing at present to prevent the charging of fees for these certificates. The legal position is, however, altered by the National Health Service Act and the precise arrangements to be made in the new service are now under consideration.
