HC Deb 19 March 1951 vol 485 c2078
14. Mrs. Braddock

asked the Minister of National Insurance what provision is made for married women who are working to obtain the necessary information on how to apply for the maternity allowance six weeks before confinement; and if she is satisfied that adequate sources of information are available.

Dr. Summerskill

Posters are displayed and an information leaflet is available at ante-natal clinics and at food offices, as well as at all National Insurance offices. The leaflet is issued with the expectant mother's ration book. The necessary information has also been widely publicised through such means as Press releases, notes to trade unions and industrial welfare officers, and the B.B.C. I am satisfied that adequate information is available.
