§ 15. Mr. RENDALLasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that a Bill to provide for nurses' registration was passed through the House of Lords in 1908 with the assent of both parties; that this. Bill has been for nine years introduced into the House of Commons and supported there by Members of all parties; that within the past twenty years Acts for the registration of nurses have been passed in every British Colony and in thirty-four of the United States of America; and whether, under these circumstances, he can hold out hope that during next Session facilities may be provided for the Bill now before the House?
§ The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Asquith)I can make no promise for next Session, but the claims of this Bill will be considered.
