HC Deb 26 March 1953 vol 513 c818
9. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Education what consultations she is having with the Dental Association with a view to increasing the number of dentists in those areas where the need is greatest.

Miss Horsbrugh

My right hon. Friend the Minister of Health and I are having a discussion later today with representatives of the British Dental Association.

Sir W. Smithers

Will my right hon. Friend instruct her officials, and, if possible, Ministry of Health officials, in all their negotiations to treat representatives of an honourable profession with due consideration?

Miss Horsbrugh

As far as I am aware the officials of my Department and of other Departments do treat all representatives in that way.
