HC Deb 07 February 1940 vol 357 cc245-6W
Mr. Groves

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, as the Central Medical War Committee is a Government advisory committee, and as the British Medical Association claims that such committee and its local emergency committee are committees of the association, he will now ascertain the number of persons appointed to recruiting medical boards, emergency hospital and first-aid posts in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee and Glasgow, respectively, who are not members of the British Medical Association?

Mr. Colville

The association or other body which a doctor chooses to join is a personal matter. As I explained in my reply to the hon. Member on 23rd January, the information asked for in the last part of the Question is not available, and I do not feel justified in instituting inquiries.
