Transcript of a statement on corporate bodies in optics delivered by Mr W. B. Bland FBOA at a meeting held in the House of Commons. Includes a philosophical discussion of whether ophthalmic optics is a profession or a trade, a service provider of 'skilled advice' or a consultant, and an appendix listing a set of statistics accurate as of 1965 on multiple firms operating eight or more branches including the names of the controlling directors. Also a statement by Mr Harris Daile FBOA on the pitfalls of independent practice and advocating the employment of opticians as salaried officers of the Health Service in Family Health Centres.
