§ 11. Mr. WIGNALLasked the Minister of Health whether, in January, 1922, when Sir Wilmot Herringham was appointed to the General Nursing Council of England and Wales, there was only one vacancy on the council, that occasioned by the resignation of Mr. J. C. Priestley, K.C., the nominee of the Privy Council; whether the Board of Education appointed the Hon. Mrs. Eustace Hills to the General Nursing Council in May, 1920, and Miss Steele in October, 1921; whether he will state under what provision of the Nurses Registration Act of 1919 the Board of Education appointed Sir Wilmot Herring-ham in January, 1922, considering the fact that, according to the Schedule of the Act, they are only entitled to two nominations, and that the Hon. Mrs. Eustace Hills and Miss Steele are still members of the council; and why, if changes have been made in the nominees appointed by the different bodies, the council has never yet been notified of the fact?
Mr. DUDLEY WARD (Vice-Chamberlain of the Household)I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Education to a similar question by the hon. Member for Dartford on the 2nd August.
