BRITISH MEDICINES AND MEDICAL APPLIANCES.

HC Deb 28 July 1930 vol 242 cc60-1W

Mr. GRAHAM WHITE

asked the Secretary of State for India if he has any evidence as to the effect of the recent decision of the General Medical Council with regard to the rights of Indian medical graduates upon the volume of British trade with India in medicines and medical appliances?

Mr. BENN

I have no statistics of this trade in recent months. I was informed in April last that a boycott of these classes of British goods had been established in consequence of the decision of the General Medical Council, but in May I heard that this boycott was weakening and that orders for British goods were being placed. I have received no later reports.
