HC Deb 12 June 1947 vol 438 cc137-8W
69. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Health what information he has to show that his deprecation of the employment of girls at too early an age in hospitals has had an effect, particularly in sanatoria; and whether he is satisfied that hospital authorities now fully recognise the unwisdom of this.

Mr. Bevan

I regret that detailed information is not available. The unwisdorn of employing young girls is, however, generally recognised, and every opportunity is taken of discouraging the practice.
