HC Deb 16 June 1969 vol 785 c13W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will require state registered nurses employed in the National Health Services to refuse to accept free gifts from a gripe water manufacturer embossed with the name of the company.

Mr. Crossman

There is standing advice in the National Health Service that staff should decline gifts offered by suppliers, except for trivial articles such as calendars and diaries clearly issued as advertisements. If my hon. Friend has evidence of impropriety in this regard I should like to see it.
