The Vote: Friday 17th February 1928

Women and the Board of Control: Sir Frederick Willis has just retired from the Chairmanship of the Board of Control, and his place has been taken by Mr. Lawrence George Brock, a Principal Assistant-Secretary of the Ministry of Health, who has also been made a Commissioner of the Board of Control. We take this opportunity of again urging that women should be appointed to the Board of Control, of equal status with the men on the Board. This Board now consists of three unpaid Commissioners, Sir Leolin Forestier Walker, K.B.E., M.P., Sir Marriott Cooke, K.B.E., M. B., and Miss R. Darwin, and the following paid Commissioners, Sir J.

Pinsent, C.B.E., each receiving £1,200 to  £1,500 ; and R. Cunyngham Brown, C.B.E., (temporary), with £1,200. In view of the fact that there are more women mental patients than men, it seems extraordinary to us that there is no medical woman on this Board, and we think that the Ministry of Health should have taken advantage of the retirement of Sir Frederick Willis to appoint a medical woman as a Commissioner of the Board. … (continues) …
