HC Deb 29 June 1911 vol 27 cc699-700W
Sir HENRY KIMBER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is willing to accept amendments in the National Bill providing that the dispensing of medicines under the Bill shall be done through the channels provided by the Pharmacy Acts and by persons duly qualified in accordance with those Acts; that the arrangements for the supply and payment for drugs and medicine shall be made by the local health committees and shall be subject to the approval of the Insurance Commissioners; and that the pharmacists shall be represented on the local health committees and on the advisory committee appointed by the Insurance Commissioners?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I will refer the hon. Baronet to my reply to the hon. Member for East Aberdeenshire on the 20th instant. I am not prepared at the present moment to say what amendments are likely to be found desirable in the directions indicated in the question.
