HC Deb 17 March 1949 vol 462 c209W
66. Major Ramsay

asked the Minister of Health whether he will now extend the use of trilene to relieve pain in childbirth.

Mr. Bevan

Where a doctor is in charge of a confinement the decision whether trilene should be used must rest with him. Its use by midwives must depend upon a safe apparatus for its administration by them being devised and research on this is proceeding.
