HC Deb 25 March 1941 vol 370 c445W
Mr. Groves

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will take steps to make it known to all civilian medical practitioners who are called in to attend naval ratings that they have to certify whether the rating is unfit to travel, as many medical practitioners are unaware of it and consequently become involved in an exchange of correspondence?

Mr. Alexander

A notice drawing the attention of medical practitioners to this matter has recently been inserted in the "British Medical Journal" and" The Lancet."
