§ The Prime MinisterThe Supplement to the Doctors' and Dentists' Review Body's Third Report on Community Medicine salaries which I referred to in my announcement of 5th July—[Vol. 859, c.186.]—has been published today as a Command Paper. Copies are available in the Vote Office.

I am most grateful to Lord Halsbury and his colleagues for producing their advice so rapidly.
