HC Deb 25 May 1950 vol 475 c259W
11. Mr. Perkins

asked the Minister of Education whether he is aware that school children in Gloucestershire have not had their teeth examined for two years; and what steps he is taking to remedy this state of affairs.

Mr. Tomlinson

Yes. The School Dental Service has been affected by difficulties over the salaries of dentists employed by local authorities. Agreement has now been reached on the establishment of a Dental Whitley Council which is to hold its first meeting on 8th June.
