§ Captain BOWYERasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that outside the Metropolitan police force area a policeman who summons a doctor to a street accident is responsible for paying the doctor's fees if, as sometimes happens, the patient will not pay; and will he secure that in future in such cases any charge incurred shall be borne by the police fund, as in the Metropolitan police force area?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANIf such a rule exist in any force, I do not think it can be general. If my hon. and gallant Friend will inform me of any case where difficulty has occurred, I shall be happy to make inquiry.
