§ 52. Dr. CHAPPLEasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the frequent instances of the misuse of nurses' uniform, he will give facilities for a Nurses' Registration Bill?
§ Mr. McKENNARegistration of nurses would not prevent people from dressing as such unless this were made an offence. If a Nurses' Registration Bill is introduced it is a matter for consideration whether registration should carry with it the right to wear some distinctive badge. I cannot make any statement as to facilities being given for such a Bill.
§ Dr. CHAPPLEIs the right hon. Gentleman not aware that where Nurses' Registration is in operation, a badge is supplied which is worn as part of the uniform? Can he say whether there could be any motive for wearing nurse's uniform except the motive of deception?
§ Mr. McKENNAI should like to have notice of the last part of the question. With regard to the first part I agree that is a matter which should be considered.
