HC Deb 24 April 1956 vol 551 c125W
57. Major Anstruther-Gray

asked the Minister of Labour whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that the National Dock Labour Board refuses to employ male nurses; and whether he will arrange for this policy to be reconsidered.

Mr. Iain Macleod

I understand that it has been the normal but not the invariable practice of the National Dock Labour Board to employ female nurses. The policy on this question is the responsibility of the Board.
