HC Deb 11 July 1923 vol 166 c1380W
Mr. CLARRY

asked 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. CHAMBERLAIN

The 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.
