I am sending each of the two hon. Members a copy of a statement I made on 1st April, 1946, from which they will see that the Government intend to introduce legislation dealing, among other matters, with veterinary practice by unregistered persons on the general lines proposed by the Chancellor Committee.
The Chancellor - also known as "Chancellor of the Exchequer" is responsible as a Minister for the treasury, and for the country's economy. For Example, the Chancellor set taxes and tax rates. The Chancellor is the only MP allowed to drink Alcohol in the House of Commons; s/he is permitted an alcoholic drink while delivering the budget.
