HC Deb 04 November 1949 vol 469 c794

Amendment made: In page 11, line 13, leave out "standing" and insert "area."—[Mr. Blenkinsop.]

Mr. Blenkinsop

I beg to move, in page 11, line 13, after "committees," insert: (other than expenditure incurred by such committees in conducting examinations on behalf of the Council). This is to make clear the meaning of the Clause, because if we had left the wording as it stands, it might have fallen to the Minister to defray any expenses incurred by the area nurse-training committee on behalf of the General Nursing Council in conducting examinations. It is quite clear that that is not the intention.

Amendment agreed to.
