The Medical Officer to the Tokio Embassy.Sir WILLIAM COLLINS asked the Secretary of State for Foreign

Affairs whether the medical officer to the British Embassy at Tokiowas a British subject, and whether he was a legally qualified medicalpractitioner within the meaning of the Medical Acts.-Sir EDWARDGREY replied : I understand that Dr. Wunsch, the medical officerreferred to, who was appointed early in 1905 and still holds the post, isnot a British subject. But before he was appointed endeavours weremade by His Majesty’s Ambassador at Tokio to secure the services of asuitable British subject, and none was available. As regards the secondpart of the question, I must point out that Dr. Wunsch has very highqualifications, and as his practice is in Japan the special technicalqualification referred to does not apply.

Sir WILLIAM COLLINS : May I ask whether the Embassy at Tokio isnot a public institution within the meaning of the Medical Acts, andaccordingly none other than qualified medical practitioners can beappointed to that post ?

Sir EDWARD GREY : Then it would have to go without any medicalofficer. I do not think my honourable friend would desire that.Mr. SMEATON: Was the appointment advertised ?Sir EDWARD GREY: I do not know whether it was advertised.

In seven cases systems were beinglaid down and in the case of 14 burghs schemes were under considera-tion. What system would best suit the burgh of Dumbarton couldonly be decided on after obtaining expert advice.
