HC Deb 23 February 1921 vol 138 cc964-5W
Mr. LUNN

asked the Minister of Health whether Mrs. Barton and Mrs. Sanderson Furniss, appointed to represent working women on the Labour Advisory Council of the Ministry of Health, have resigned owing to the fact that, in spite of repeated protests, the Council, which was formed in April, 1919, has not met since November, 1919, either to consider the question of housing or even to receive the reports of its own sub-committees?

Mr. WATERSON

asked the Minister of Health if two members of the Labour Advisory Council have recently resigned in consequence of the Council's inactivity; and is he prepared to use the Committee according to the terms of its appointment?

Dr. ADDISON

I may refer the hon. Members to my reply to the hon. Member for Pontypool (Mr. T. Griffiths), of which I am sending them a copy.

Forward to
