§ 147. Major Anstruther-Grayasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether his attention has been drawn to a decision of the Nurses Whitley Council not to deal with matrons and deputy-matrons of institutions administered by local authorities; and what steps he is taking to see that the interests of these matrons will be brought within the jurisdiction of the Scottish Local Authority Industrial Council without delay.
§ Mr. J. StuartThe decision of the Nurses and Midwives Whitley Council was reached with the concurrence of the210W Scottish local authority associations who are represented on it. I understand that the Employers' Side of the Scottish Joint Industrial Council for Local Authority Services are now to consider how the salaries and conditions of service of the staff in question may best be dealt with.
