HC Deb 30 July 1923 vol 167 cc1071-2W
Sir E. HUME-WILLIAMS

asked the Minister of Health who is responsible for the fact that certificates recently issued to medical men for use under the National Insurance Acts have printed on the back of them an advertisement for certain kinds of butter and tea; and whether he will give orders that all certificates bearing this advertisement and which have not yet been issued shall be called in and destroyed?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

As regards the first part of the question I would refer the hon. and learned Member to the reply given by the Financial Secretary to the Treasury to the right hon. Member for Derby (Mr. J. H. Thomas) on the 16th May. As regards the second part, I cannot undertake to withdraw certificate books which have already been issued, but I may mention that the supply of these books will be exhausted at an early date.
