asked the Minister of Health whether he is now in a position to bring forward his proposals relating to the increased payment proposed to medical men on the panel lists?

The matter referred to by the hon. Member is still under consideration and I am not yet in a position to make a statement on the subject.

Will my right hon. Friend, when he brings forward his proposals, have regard to the proposals made by himself and his colleague in relation to this matter?

In framing my proposals, I never forget any pledge which I gave.
