HC Deb 01 May 1969 vol 782 c268W
54. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what assurances he gave the Hospital Matrons Association at his meeting with it on 25th April on the subject of the difficulties arising over nurses' conditions of service.

Mr. Crossman

I said that a letter was going to hospital authorities saying that reasonable basic meals should be available at the prices laid down in the Ancillary Staffs Council agreement. I sent the hon. Member a copy of this letter in connection with her Question on 28th April.—[Vol. 782, c. 939–44.]
