Forty-eight percent of Conservative MPs and 18.6 percent of Labour MPs elected between 1922 and 1935 were from the professional classes: see Michael Rush, "The Members of Parliament," in The House of Commons in the Twentieth Century, ed. S. A. Walkland (Oxford: Clarendon, 1979), pp. 87, 114. Among Conservative MPs, professionals rose from fifty-two (for the 1918-35 period) to sixty-one in 1945; among Labour, the rise over the same period was from twenty-five to forty-nine.

In general, the scope for the medical profession to pursue state medicine on their own terms was increasingly circumscribed in late nineteenth-century Britain.

Ewen J. Maclean, "The Medical Profession and Parliamentary Representation," BMJ, 15 January 1910, p. 173. The notion that the laity in the Commons could not fathom medical issues was a standard trope in the rhetoric for more medical representation in Parliament. The surgeon Edward Beadon Turner, who put himself forward for election in 1918, typically had "a very distinct recollection of my attempts to coach a gentleman, distinctly in intellect above the average of the ordinary M.P., on a question of great medical importance, and the horror with which I heard the failure of those attempts" ("Medical Representation in Parliament," BMJ, 30 November 1918, p. 615).

As early as 1904, Fremantle was "qualifying himself to be hereafter an M.P. with sanitary knowledge": Fremantle applied for, but then declined, the Eugenic Fellowship, for which Francis Galton thought him the most suitable of the candidates (Galton to Mr. Hartog [University Academic Registrar], 11 December 1904, University College, London, MS CF/1/5/1659). (My thanks to Joan Leopold for this reference.) His father was the Dean of Ripon and he was heir to an estate in Hertfordshire. His grandfather was first Baron Cottesloe (created 1874). At least two other medical MPs were also a part of the "aristocratic cousinhood" of the House of Commons: Walter Elliot, who was married to the half-sister of Baron Glenconner, and Alfred B. Howitt, who was son-in-law of Baron Marchamley (created 1908). John Moir was married to a cousin of Lord Moynihan.

This estimate of election expenses was close to the average around this time: see F. W. S. Craig, ed., British Electoral Facts, 1885-1975 (London: Macmillan, 1976), p. 73. Fremantle was forced to withdraw from the 1910 election because of a clause in the Local Government Act of 1888 that ruled that employees of county councils were ineligible to serve in Parliament.

George Mahomed to Cox, 6 January 1918, BMAA, SA/BMA/H.6. Little is known of (Arthur) George Sulieman Mahomed. A self-confessed Tory, he emerges from the correspondence with Cox as astute and canny. According to his entry in the Medical Directory he was the author of a paper on "The State and the Doctor," which I have not been able to trace. There is a reference in the Lancet (1 January 1910, p. 27) to a paper by him on "Atmospheric Electricity" delivered to the Edinburgh Medico-Chirurgical Society. He last appears in the Medical Directory in 1944; no obituary has been found. It is likely that he was one of the "several children" of the restless medical enthusiast Frederick H. H. Akber Mahomed, FRCP (1849-84): see Lives of the Fellows of the Royal College of Physicians of London, vol. 4, 1826-1925 (London: RCPL, 1955), p. 276.

Within the Bournemouth Division was Dr. Johnson Smyth, who was also on the BMA Council and who, at the Council meeting of 7 July 1918, resolved that the idea of the Fund be considered. Addison's Bill for the Ministry of Health was introduced, but withdrawn, in November 1918; it was not reintroduced until after the election in December 1918, and not passed until June 1919.

Bishop Harman, "Parliamentary Representation [an address delivered to the Central Division of the British Medical Association, Birmingham, October 3rd 1918]," BMJ, 12 October 1918, pp. 408-9, in BMAA, SA/BMA/H.8, Correspondence of Parliamentary Election Committee (PEC), 1918-29. Recruited to the Committee within the next few months were some of the most seasoned medical politicians within the BMA, as well as the provincial GPs and Liberal candidates A. C. Faquharson and Sir Thomas Flitcroft (the former securing election in December 1918, the latter failing to do so), and the consultant and MP (since July 1917) Sir A. Garrod Thomas, who was asked to chair the new Parliamentary Election Committee.

By 9 December 1918, the Fund contained between £300 and £400; the first Report of the "Medical Representation in Parliament Fund," of June 1919, reported £452 from donations and another £184 from annual subscriptions. By November 1932 the Fund had £1,044. It seems rarely to have exceeded the hundreds of pounds.

The Parliamentary Subcommittee ruled that a medical candidate "should, by his past work and experience, have proved his knowledge of, and loyalty to, the interests of the profession as expressed through the British Medical Association" (Harman, "Parliamentary Representation" [n. 69], p. 409). Applicants for funding were asked four questions during interviews, the wrong reply to any of which would disqualify them: "1. Do you favour socialisation or municipalisation of the voluntary hospitals? 2. Are you in favour of any form of legislation which will go in the direction of making the medical profession into a whole-time state salaried medical service? 3. If you are not in favour of this will you do your best inside the councils of the Labour Party to persuade them not to introduce such legislation? 4. If such legislation is introduced by the Labour Party could you promise (a) to vote against it or (b) refrain from voting?" See, for example, Alfred Cox to James Kerr, 26 March 1921, BMAA, SA/BMA/H.6.

Macdonald, who stood unsuccessfully for one of the three Scottish University seats, was rejected by the PEC committee because he was closely associated with the MPU, which was regarded as "positively hostile to the [BM] Association" (Minutes of PEC, 5 March 1919, BMAA, SA/BMA/H.8). Another candidate for funding from the PEC was Capt. Donald Campbell (RAMC), who was adopted by the Paddington branch of the National Federation of Discharged and Demobilised Soldiers and Sailors to contest North Paddington. The views of Macdonald and Kynaston are expressed in the BMJ: 16 November 1918, p. 558, and 23 November 1918, p. 589, respectively.

BMA activist N. Bishop Harman was derided at a meeting in 1918 when he claimed that the BMA represented some 23,000 medical men (BMJ, 5 October 1918, p. 381). In March 1918, Cox confessed that "the number of members [of the BMA] in Great Britain and Ireland is nearly 15,000" (Cox to Mahomed, 5 March 1918, BMAA, SA/BMA/H.6). Cf. BMJ, 21 December 1918, p. 691, which claimed that the membership was "about half the medical practitioners of the UK; and Bartrip, Themselves Writ Large (n. 20), p. 193.

The Future of the Medical Profession under a National Health Ministry, Discussion at the Royal Society of Medicine
-
15 June
-
At meetings on the future of the medical profession under "a national health ministry" in June 1918, Cheyne suggested that "for the present the profession should confine itself to advocating a Ministry of Health" ("The Future of the Medical Profession under a National Health Ministry, Discussion at the Royal Society of Medicine," BMJ, 15 June 1918, p. 673). See also "Minute of the Conference held at the Royal College of Physicians on Friday, the 1st November, 1918, on the proposed legislation to establish a Ministry of Health," RSMA. As appreciated by the medical correspondent to the Times, "The truth is that Dr. Addison is in a very strong position. The medical profession is not" (26 May 1919, p. 17). GPs were generally more concerned about the proposed Ministry than consultants, fearful that under it they would lose the capital they had invested in their practices; they also distrusted medical members of the House of Commons, who they believed came largely from the consultant class and had never been in touch with the needs of the GP: see Sidney Matthews, "The Future of the Medical Profession," BMJ, 20 July 1918, p. 72.

Parliamentary Representation of the Medical Profession

The resolution for a parliamentary agent was made by the BMA's Medico-Parliamentary Committee on 2 January 1937, estimating the cost of the agent at between £70 and £100 per annum. The BMA executive agreed to this on 22 May 1937. Fremantle wrote to BMA Secretary G. C. Anderson on 25 August 1937 commending the idea and hoping that the agent would "co-operate with the Parliamentary Medical Committee by constant personal contacts with the Chairman and Secretary" (BMAA, SA/BMA/C.90). The agent - Messrs Sharpe, Pritchard and Co. - was active for the next ten years, charged with examining all bills introduced into both houses of Parliament with an eye to those affecting medicine, and engaging in promoting or opposing private bills: see BMAA, SA/BMA/C.90, Minutes of Committee, 1937-46, "Parliamentary Agents"; and SA/BMA/F.125, "Private Bills in Parliament, 1937-46." Except for the "increasing medical representation in Parliament," the job description for the Parliamentary Agent was essentially that of the Parliamentary Medical Committee as initially proposed by Cheyne in 1918: see "Parliamentary Representation of the Medical Profession," BMJ, 10 May 1919, p. 579.

MPU Executive Minutes, 10 June 1942 (on the MPU's hiring of its "agent," see 6 July 1938, 26 July 1940), MPUA. Groves, whose closest connection with the medical profession was his presidency of West Ham Society for the Welfare of the Blind, was succeeded in 1945 by Dr. Richard Clitherow, Labour MP for Edge Hill, Liverpool, from 1945 until his death in 1947. Clitherow, a pharmacist, began medical studies in 1941 before undertaking law in 1945.

For Dr. Gavin Clark, for instance, medicine had become remote; by the time he unsuccessfully contested a seat for Labour in Glasgow in 1918 (aged seventy-two) he had behind him a well-earned reputation as a socialist, pacifist, and campaigner for female suffrage: Lancet, 19 July 1930, p. 168; BMJ, 19 July 1930, pp. 126-27. Joseph Hunter surprised his friends when, in 1926, aged fifty-one, he gave up his lucrative general practice in Dumfries for a post with the Land and Nation League, and then, three years later, stood successfully as Liberal MP for Dumfries; he eventually succeeded to the Scottish Liberal Whip: obituary, BMJ, 3 August 1935, p. 235. Percy McDougall, who qualified in 1894, similarly had a passion for the land-reform ideas of Henry George, but he was compelled to remain in general practice in Fallowfield, Manchester, after failing to win over the electorate in 1933 (at a by-election) and at the general election of 1935, when he stood as an Independent on the ticket "land monopoly the great disease in the body politic" (Lancet, 9 November 1935, p. 1092). For Rivers's involvment, see Richard Slobodin, W. H. R. Rivers, Pioneer Anthropologist, Psychiatrist of "The Ghost Road" (rev. ed., Thrupp, Stroud, U.K.: Sutton, 1997), pp. 79-81.

Thomas Watts of Manchester continued to do consulting after becoming an MP in 1922, but this was made possible by his brother and partner continuing to run the successful family practice. Until driven to exhaustion in 1929, Alfred Salter carried on his extensive and diverse general practice in Bermondsey (Brockway, Bermondsey Story [n. 87], pp. 113, 127, 143, 148), and H. B. W. Morgan continued as one of the physicians to "Labour's Own" Manor House Hospital in London. Dr. H. C. Boyde of Stratford promised his BMA interviewers in 1938 that he would continue as a GP if elected and "would make this clear to the Labour Party" (BMAA, SA/BMA/H.5).

Cox to Fremantle, 8 December 1923, BMAA, SA/BMA/H.5. See also Cox to Sir Thomas Watts, MP, 24 January, 19 November, 8 December 1923, SA/BMA/H.6. J. H. Williams (LSA 1902) was indeed of "no particular account," politically speaking: a partner with his son in general practice in Burry Port, Carmarthen, he was also a member of the Middle Temple and a Justice of the Peace. During his parliamentary career, which lasted from November 1922 until his death in February 1936, he frequently spoke in the House on medical issues, but was not watchful of the interests of the medical profession.

Spero first stood unsuccessfully as a Liberal for West Leicester in November 1922, aged twenty-eight, campaigning on "consumption caused by shortage of houses and the high price of good food" (Lancet, 11 November 1922, p. 1043). Elected for Stoke Newington the following December, but defeated in October 1924 (having been the only person that year to receive anything from the BMA's Parliamentary Election Fund), in 1925 he joined the Labour Party, and was elected for Fulham West in May 1929.

An exception is Sir G. Lenthal Cheatle's "Ministers of Health - Defend Us?" Nineteenth Cent., 1923, 149:30-38, which argued that a Ministry of Health without a medical man in charge was like Hamlet without the Prince. However, Cheatle was the elder brother of the distinguished FRCS, Arthur Henry Cheatle (1866-1929).

See Haxey, Tory M.P. (n. 35), p. 84. Eckstein, Pressure Group Politics (n. 5), p. 77 n. 1, cites the example of Sir Frederick Messer, a Labour MP who was chairman of the Central Health Services Council, a member of the Ministry of Education Advisory Committee on Handicapped Children, VP of the Medical Superintendents Society, and chairman of the Industrial Orthopaedic Society, among many similar positions. Among other MPs with strong medical interests were C. W. Bowerman (who, along with J. R. Clynes, was prominent in the People's League of Health) John Buchan, Sir William Martin Conway, David Ennals, Sir Ian Fraser, Sir John Gorst, F. W. Jowett, Sir Philip Magnus, Eleanor Rathbone, J. F. Rawlinson, and Henry Willink. William Woolcock, prior to becoming Liberal MP for Hackney (1918-22), was secretary of the Pharmaceutical Society; he became chairman of the Committee on Medical Supplies in the House of Commons. William Woolley (Liberal MP for the Spen Valley, 1940-45), parliamentary private secretary to Ernest Brown when Brown was Minister of Health, was also a member of the Pharmaceutical Society.
