§ Mr. CLARRYasked the Minister of Health if he can see his way clear to framing Regulations whereby a friendly society or group of societies may form medical aid departmeents for the purpose of supplying medicines and surgical appliances to their members?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe object which the hon. Member has in view cannot be secured without amending legislation, which would be of a controversial character, and which I do not see my way to introduce. I have no power to deal with the matter by way of Regulations.
