Major Lloyd GeorgeThe scheme for a miners' medical service has already been described in broad outline by my hon. Friend the Joint Parliamentary Secretary in the Debate of 1st October. I cannot give a precise date on which the scheme will be put into operation as its introduction must be gradual. I am however hoping to be able to fill a number of the necessary medical posts in the near future.
