§ Mr. Thorpeasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what reciprocal agreements exist for medical treatment for British citizens visiting France; and, in particular, whether any reciprocal arrangement exists for British citizens detained in hospital.
§ Mr. AlisonExcept for exchange visits by teachers and schoolchildren, it has not been possible to negotiate a reciprocal agreement for the medical treatment, in hospital or elsewhere, of British citizens visiting France, because the French have not felt able to extend their arrangements for health insurance for this purpose.
