§ 41. Mr. ANSTRUTHER-GRAYasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that the Ilford council maternity home have charged a police constable £13 10s. for 16 days that his wife was in the home; and, in view of the declared practice of the home to base their charges on the income of the patient, he will inquire into the case, in view of the fact that a police constable's wages are insufficient to support so heavy a charge?
§ Mr. SHAKESPEAREThe question of the charges to be made at this home is a matter within the discretion of the town council, but my right hon. Friend will communicate with the council and inform my hon. Friend of the result.
