§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Prime Minister whether, as the institution of a universal free health service conducted by full-time salaried medical officers, involving the ultimate extinction of private practice, comes into the category of a far-reaching change of a controversial character not directly needed for the war effort, he will declare that decisions regarding such a service shall not be made without a general election?
§ Mr. E. BrownI have been asked to reply. I think that my hon. Friend should first await the promised White Paper, so that he may see what proposals are in fact put forward in it as the basis for public discussion, before he raises the last part of the Question?
