62. Mr. Symonds

asked the Minister of Health whether he has now given consideration to the practical effect on recruitment to the nursing profession, on the Rushcliffe scale of salaries, of a recent judgment of the Clerkenwell magistrates; and what steps he proposes to take to deal with the situation.

Mr. Bevan

I will consider this matter further when I know the result of a similar case which is coming before the Wealdstone magistrates at the end of the month

65. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister or Health the approximate number of girls training or fully trained in British hospitals who are from the Colonies, India and the European continent, respectively.

Mr. Bevan

There are 181 from the Colonies and 21 from India in training. I regret that the other figures are not available.
