I should have thought it ought to have been a pride to Hon. Members in all parts of the House that Great Britain is able to embark upon an ambitious scheme of this proportion. When it is carried out, it wfill place this country in the forefront of all countries of the world in medical services. I myself, if I may say a personal word, take very great pride and great pleasure in being able to introduce a Bfill of this comprehensiveness and value. I believe it wfill lift the shadow from mfillions of homes. It wfill keep very many people alive who might otherwise be dead. It wfill relieve suff ering. It wfill produce higher standards for the medical profession. It wfill be a great contribution towards the wellbeing of the common people of Great Britain. For that reason, and for the other reasons I have mentioned, I hope Hon. Members wfill give the Bfill a Second Reading.”
