§ Mr. Grovesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is aware that the circular issued to medical practitioners in Glasgow headed duties of doctors in air raids was never considered by or even known to members of the Local Medical War Committee prior to issue; whether he will state who of the committee was concerned in its preparation and who consulted the Department of Health's hospital officer; and when such consultation took place and on whose authority?
§ Mr. E. BrownAs I informed the hon. Member in my reply of 5th September to his previous Question on this subject, the circular to which he refers was issued by the Glasgow Local Medical War Committee over the signatures of the chairman 617W and hon. secretary of that committee. Copies of the circular in draft and in proof were sent by the hon. secretary to the Department of Health hospital officer for his observations which were given.
