§ Mr. Grovesasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that some local medical war committees are still announcing themselves to the medical profession as being sub-committees of the British Medical Association; whether he has seen the notice of the Swansea division of the association convening a meeting of the division at which matters relating to both the local medical war committee and the British Medical Association are to be dealt with; and whether he will, in accordance with the assurances given to this House, take the necessary action to ensure that such announcements cease and that local medical war committees are in fact independent bodies and that their officers are made fully to realize this?

§ Mr. E. BrownThe answer to the first two parts of the Question is in the negative. As regards the third part I have no reason to believe that the position is not generally well understood by local medical war committees and their officers, but if my hon. Friend will send me any evidence to the contrary, including a copy of the notice of meeting to which he refers, I will consider whether any action on my part is called for.
