HC Deb 20 February 1956 vol 549 cc5-6W
70. Mr. Orbach

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance whether he will amend the regulations so that sickness benefit shall be paid even though a doctor has inadvertently provided a private medical certificate instead of a National Health certificate.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

The Regulations already cover such cases; if the hon. Member knows of any case where difficulty has arisen perhaps he will let me have particulars.
