HC Deb 06 March 1929 vol 226 cc392-3W
Mr. HORE-BELISHA

asked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been called to a grievance felt among midwives over non-payment for emergency work; and whether he will take steps to amend the law so that the services of midwives who attend emergency maternity cases will not go unrewarded?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I do not find that any special representations have been made to me on this subject, but I understand that the matter will receive consideration by the Departmental Committee appointed to inquire into the working of the Midwives Acts.
