§ Mr. MILLSasked the Minister of Health whether Sir Wilmot Herringham, who was appointed a member of the General Nursing Council, is a registered medical practitioner; if so, whether he is aware that the vacancy which this gentleman was appointed to fill was caused by the resignation of a nominee of the Privy Council; that in the provisions of the Schedule to the Nurses Registration Act the nominee of the Privy Council may not be a registered medical practitioner; and, in view of this infringement of the Act, what action he proposes to take?
§ Sir A. MONDThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part, Sir Wilmot Herringham was appointed by the Board of Education, and the last part of the question, therefore, does not arise.
