HC Deb 22 May 1952 vol 501 cc69-70W
61. Sir I. Fraser

asked the Minister of Health what negotiations are proceeding with foreign, Dominion or colonial Governments with a view to securing reciprocal arrangements for free medical, dental, etc., services for visitors or citizens settling in countries other than their own.

Mr. Iain MacLeod

No negotiations are now proceeding for securing general reciprocity. Discussions are being held in the Council of Europe as regards the medical care of persons without sufficient resources, and bilateral agreements are being negotiated with the Federal Republic of Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg as regards insured workers working abroad.
