HC Deb 19 February 1942 vol 377 c1909W
Captain Elliston

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will amend the Employment of Women (Control of Engagements) Order, 1942, made under the Defence Regulation 58A, to secure for doctors and dentists the same exemption as is allowed to nurses, teachers, &c., and thus avoid unnecessary disturbance of the established customs of the medical profession in regard to the filling of appointments and the arrangements now in operation by the Central Medical War Committee?

Mr. Bevin

Yes, Sir; after further consultation with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Health I am amending the Order as suggested.
