HC Deb 30 July 1930 vol 242 c506W
Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLE

asked the Secretary of State for India when he expects to have the views of the Government of India as to the proposed formation of an Indian Medical Council, and as to the admission to the Indian medical service of candidates not holding qualifications recognised by the General Medical Council; and whether, in view of the hardship caused to students now becoming qualified in India, who are thereby losing the advantages of British registration, and the importance of these matters to the welfare of Indians and Europeans in India, and in order to secure its earliest consideration by parties and persons interested, he will publish the reply without delay?

Mr. BENN

I have not heard when the Government of India expect to be in a position to send me their views, but, I have no doubt that they will deal with the matter as expeditiously as possible. I cannot undertake to publish the reply of the Government of India before I have seen it, but I will bear the hon. and gallant Member's suggestion in mind.
