asked the Minister of Health if his attention has been drawn to the case of a partnership of four doctors practising in the East End who have been fined £100 by the London Insurance Committee for the offence of excessive prescribing; and will he, in the circumstances, mitigate or remit this fine?

I am aware of this case. The Insurance Committee have made a recommendation, but for the reason given in reply to a similar question on 27th February by my hon. Friend the Member for Bradford, East (Mr. Jowett), of which I will send the hon. Member a copy, I cannot undertake to anticipate the decision at which it will be my duty to arrive.
