§ Mr. BlenkinsopI beg to move, in page 4, line 8, leave out "9 to 14," and to insert "More than 8."
This is a small Amendment intended to cover the rather rare cases where a denture contains more than 14 teeth. In the Bill as originally drafted no charge was prescribed for a denture of 16 teeth unless it was one of a pair. It has, however, been found that it is the practice of some dentists to use 16 teeth when making dentures for exceptionally large mouths, and the Amendment brings these cases into the charges. If they were left out it might lead to cases of 16–teeth dentures being supplied in order to avoid the charge.
§ Amendment agreed to.
§ Schedule, as amended, agreed to.
§ Bill reported, with Amendments; as amended to be considered upon Monday next and to be printed. [Bill 101.]
