HC Deb 11 December 1941 vol 376 c1703W
Captain Elliston

asked the Minister of Health whether he proposes to intervene on behalf of the Medical Officer of Health for Dudley who has been suspended for the duration of the war because he has registered as a conscientious objector, as permitted by the Military Service Act.

Mr. E. Brown

The appointment, dismissal or suspension of the Medical Officer of Health of a county borough does not require my approval, and I have no authority to intervene between the Council and their officer in this matter.
