HC Deb 14 July 1969 vol 787 c19W
70. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services why he instructed the management side of the National Whitley Council to refuse the £1 a week grant agreed for student and pupil nurses under 21 years of age to student and pupil nurses over 21 years of age.

Mr. Crossman

Although I have three representatives on the management side of the Nurses and Midwives Whitley Council who can express views on my behalf, decisions are taken by the full management side.
