HC Deb 04 June 1924 vol 174 cc1242-3
56. Major BARNETT

asked the Minister of Health whether the General Nursing Council for England and Wales duly submitted its amended election scheme before the 14th March, 1924, as required; if so, whether such scheme has met with his approval and will be laid upon the Table of the House; and, in the event of such scheme not having been submitted or not having been approved, what steps he proposes to take to give effect to the decision of his Department, as approved by the House?

Mr. WHEATLEY

The General Nursing Council have submitted proposals for the amendment of the election scheme, but as their precise intention was not clear, they have been asked to give further consideration to certain points. Pending their reply, I am unable to come to any decision as to sanctioning the amendments, but I hope to be able to lay amended Rules on the Table of the House before the end of the Session.
