HC Deb 24 February 1914 vol 58 c1609W
Mr. AUBREY HERBERT

asked the President of the Local Government Board if he will consider the advisability of ordering that all workhouse infirmaries and nurseries should be inspected periodically by one of His Majesty's female inspectors, and that such inspection should not be allowed to devolve entirely upon male inspectors?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

Some inspection of such institutions is already being made by the female inspectors, and I am considering what measures are necessary in order to secure that all Poor Law infirmaries and nurseries should be inspected by women at suitable intervals.
