HC Deb 05 July 1951 vol 489 cc242-3W
100. Mr. J. Johnson

asked the Minister of Health how far it is the policy of his Department to encourage women to have their babies in hospitals as opposed to having them at home.

Mr. Blenkinsop

It is my right hon. Friend's policy that women shall have their babies in hospitals only if there are adequate medical or social reasons for not having them at home.
