HC Deb 23 June 1955 vol 542 cc89-90W
Mr. Paget

asked the Minister of Health whether he will arrange for a chemist dispensing National Health prescriptions to be open in Northampton each night after 7 p.m.

Mr. Iain Macleod

It is for the local Executive Council to make arrangements, subject to my approval, for providing that one or more chemists on the pharmaceutical list shall at all reasonable times be open. The Council has not asked me to approve any change in the existing arrangements which are similar to those in force elsewhere in the country and which I see no grounds for altering.
