IMPERIAL GOVERNMENT'S

POLICY

STATEMENT BY MR LLOYD GEORGE. United Press Association—By Eleotrlo Telegraph—Copyright. (Received May 2, 11.25 p.m.)

LONDON, May 2.

The Unionist motion requesting the Government to co-operate with the doctors in order to make the Insurance Act efficient was unexpectedly accepted. Mr Lloyd George stated that negotiations with the doctors were progressing with a view to securing adequate remuneration for them.. The Government desired to meet legitimate requests. Unionist newspapers hint that tho acceptance of tho motion was due to a small attendance of Ministerialists and a desire to avoid a division.
