§ MR. SCHWANN (Manchester, N.)To ask the President of the Local Government Board what steps, if any, have been taken to deal with the Report of the Departmental Committee on Nursing, which was made in November, 1902; and whether the recommendations of the Committee in that Report are to be adopted as they stand.
(Answered by Mr. Walter Long.) As stated in the reply given to the hon. Member by my hon. friend, the Secretary to the Local (Government Board, on the 21st instant, † after the Report of the Departmental Committee on this subject was made I received a considerable number of representations on points relating to their recommendations. I have caused these representations to be brought before the Committee, who have duly considered them. I am now in possession of the views of the Committee, and I will shortly decide precisely what course shall be taken in the matter.
