§ Mr. Milneasked the Minister of Defence if he is aware that while female state registered nurses, on enlistment, are granted a commission, male state registered nurses are not; and if, in future, the same facilities will be granted to men as to women.
§ Mr. ThorneycroftOnly a relatively few male nurses trained to State Registration standards are needed. Thus, the number of commissioned posts for male nursing officers is very small indeed and such posts as are available are needed to provide prospects of promotion for personnel already serving.
