§ Mr. BUTCHERasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to the effect which the National Insurance Bill is likely to have on persons holding the certificate of the Apothecaries' Society who act as dispensers for medical men in their surgeries; whether he is aware that numbers of such dispensers will lose their present employment by reason of the fact that the medical men who employ them will no longer supply their patients with medicines, and that in the existing state of the law such dispensers will find it difficult, if not impossible, to obtain other employment either as chemists' assistants or otherwise; and 401W whether he will take the case of such dispensers into consideration and consider in what manner they can be relieved from hardship?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEIt seems to me that under the Bill as it stands the demand for the services of persons of the class described in the question should be increased rather than diminished.
