§ Mr. BURNSThe Departmental Committee who are considering this matter have not yet made their Report with regard to the proposed Order. I have already brought under the notice of the Committee for their consideration the representations submitted to me by the Workhouse Nursing Association, and I understand that they will be glad to receive any further suggestions which may he made to them on the subject.
