Part of the debate – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 30 Hydref 1969.
Has the right hon. Gentleman seen my Motions Nos. 3 and 4—
[That this House believes that the people of Great Britain require proper salaries and conditions of service for the nursing profession; requires the Secretary of State for Social Services to deal with this urgent matter without further delay; and urges that a statement as to the procedure to be adopted should be announced in the House of Commons on 30th October.]
[That, in the opinion of this House, the speech of Mr. Kenneth Adam, Governor of the British Film Institute, at the annual meeting of the Northern Arts Association on 25th October, discloses yet another discrimination against Tyneside infavour of the London National Film Theatre; conveys to Mr. Kenneth Adam its grateful appreciation that he is prepared to fight for the implementation of the proposed plan for the establishment of the purpose-built Tyneside Film Theatre with educational and socialfacilities; and that, in the opinion of this House, any essential economies should be borne by London and not by the North of England with its high level of unemployment.]
With regard to the nurses, could the right hon. Gentleman find out from the Government why they seem to be more interested in the conditions of those who strike than in the conditions of those who do not strike? The nurses would like to know when something is likely to be done about their salaries and conditions, in view of the fact that the whole of the country wants them to be properly treated.
