SIR WALTER FOSTER (Derbyshire, Ilkeston)To ask the Secretary to the Board of Education whether the Midwives Board, appointed under the provisions of the Midwives Act which came into force on 1st April, has held any meetings since that date; and, if so, when the minutes of such meetings will be issued for information.
(Answered by Sir William Anson.) The Midwives Board has met several times since the 1st of April for the purpose, among other things, of framing rules under the third section of the Act. These rules when approved by the Privy Council will be published, but the minutes of the Board's meetings are for the exclusive information of the Board.
