§ Mr. MILLSasked the President of the Board of Education under what provision of the Nurses Registration Act of 1919 he appointed Sir Wilmot Herring-ham to the General Nursing Council for England and Wales, considering the fact that the two nominees of the Board of Education, the Hon. Mrs. Eustace Hills and Miss Steele, are still members of the Council, and that, according to the Act, the Board are only entitled to make two nominations; and why, if changes have been made in the Board's nominees, the General Nursing Council have received no intimation of the fact?
§ Mr. FISHERThe appointment was made under Section 2 of the Schedule to the Act. The hon. Member is under a misapprehension in supposing that Mrs. Hills is now a nominee of the Board; she occupies her seat on the Council on the nomination of the Privy Council. The failure to inform the General Nursing Council of the changes in the Board's nominations was due to a misunderstanding, which I regret.
