HC Deb 24 February 1920 vol 125 c1522W
Mr. HANCOCK

asked the Minister of Health whether a married porter and portress, also a married male and female attendant, have been served with notice to leave their employment by the Bramley Guardians, Leeds, because in each case they declined to put out to nurse a child that had recently been born to them; and whether there is any law compelling guardians to take such a step?

Dr. ADDISON

I may refer to the reply given to similar questions asked last Wednesday by the hon. Members for the Wellingborough (Mr. W. R. Smith) and Kingswinford Divisions (Mr. Sitch). I am not aware of any legal provision to the effect suggested in the last part of the question.
