HC Deb 17 October 1946 vol 427 c1046
16. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Minister of Health whether it is now his intention to allow a Christian Science Nurse who has been fully trained to use this term of designation.

17. Sir Frank Sanderson

asked the Minister of Health whether, in view of the fact that the title Christian Science Nurse has been used for over 50 years by members of the Church of Christ, Scientist qualified to do so, he will see that no discrimination against Christian Scientists is made in the Nurses Amendment Regulations, 1946.

Mr. Bevan

I would refer the hon. Members to the Debate of 14th October on the Nurses Amendment Regulations, 1946.

Sir F. Sanderson

The right hon. Gentleman will be aware that my Question was put down before the Debate took place—

Mr. Bevan

Yes.

Sir F. Sanderson

—but is he also aware that the nursing of the sick is an integral part of Christian Science practice?

Mr. Bevan

All this, of course, was very thoroughly debated on the occasion I have mentioned.
