HC Deb 12 March 1953 vol 512 c1492
26. Dr. Stross

asked the Minister of Health when he proposes to reintroduce the Dentists Bill.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health (Miss Patricia Hornsby-Smith)

As soon as Parliamentary time permits, but I am afraid that will certainly not be this Session.

Mr. Blenkinsop

Would the hon. Lady not agree that it is quite absurd to proceed with this Bill, and particularly with proposals to introduce dental nurses, so long as we are artificially restricting the work of fully-qualified dentists?
