§ Mr. Haleasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that, following a letter from the Ministry of Health to the Manchester Regional Hospital Board in January, 1958, declaring that Mr. A. H. Barber had no right of appeal against dismissal, the Board gave him three months' notice with a condition that notice was given to enable him to have the right to appeal; and, such right being subsequently denied to him, what disciplinary action is contemplated.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithI assume the hon. Member is referring to correspondence which took place in January, 1952. The facts which the hon. Member seeks to paraphrase are fully set out in the judgment of Mr. Justice Barry. This judgment expressly recognised the bona fides of action taken, and no question of disciplinary action appears to arise.
