HC Deb 18 February 1926 vol 191 c2145W
Mr. STORRY-DEANS

asked the Minister of Health whether he has considered the suggestion that the General Medical Council ought to contain a lay element; and, if so, having regard to the power of nomination conferred on the Crown by the Medical Act, 1886, will he take steps to secure that this power shall be exercised by the appointment of Jaymen as and when vacancies arise?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

Yes, Sir; I have considered my hon. Friend's suggestion, and I will take an early opportunity of consulting my Noble Friend the Lord President on this matter.
