HC Deb 06 December 1951 vol 494 cc293-4W
89. Mr. Blenkinsop

asked the Minister of Health if he will make a statement on the progress of negotiations with the British Medical Association on the subject of general practitioner remuneration.

94. Mr. MacColl

asked the Minister of Health whether an adjudicator has been chosen to determine the total sum which should be provided for the remuneration of general practitioners in the National Health Service; and whether he will ensure that the evidence placed before the adjudicator by all who appear before him is made public so that Parliament may be fully informed of the reasons for any subsequent recommendation he may wish to make.

Mr. Crookshank

I am glad to say that Mr. Justice Danckwerts has accepted an invitation from my noble Friend the Lord Chancellor to act as adjudicator. It will be for him to determine, with the parties to the adjudication, whether the evidence should be made public.
