16694Parliament Midwives Bill. A Bill to secure the better training of Midwives and to regulate their practice Bill 8 8pp. foliostapled as issued London Ordered by the House of Commons to be Printed 2 February 1890. This bill focuses on the introduction and development of midwifery education and training during the last decades of the 19th century. an Act of Parliament of the Parliament of the United Kingdom in force from 1 April 1903 and repealed in 1951.<br/><br/>It regulated the profession of midwifery requiring certification for midwives and providing a penalty for any woman practising midwifery without certification with the exception of legally qualified medical practitioners or those giving assistance in emergencies. However it emphasised that this certification was not certification as a "medical practitioner" nor did it give standing under the Medical Acts. The Act established a Central Midwives Board which would regulate the issue of certificates and keep a central register of midwives as well as regulating any courses of training or examinations providing a means for the suspension of practitioners and generally supervising the effective running of the profession. Power to supervise midwives on the local level was given to county and borough councils who were to report any suspected malpractice to the Board along with the name of any practising midwife convicted of an offence and generally to keep records of the local practitioners. These powers could be delegated to a district council or London metropolitan borough councils. unknown books

17315684London [William Bowyer] 1731 Première édition. Un exemplaire rare de ce projet de loi, conservé dans sa forme originale, avec un titre de dossier. Bien qu'aucune information ne soit fournie concernant l'imprimeur, l'ESTC indique que ce projet de loi a été imprimé par William Bowyer et précise, d'après ses registres, que seuls 1 500 exemplaires ont été tirés et que la plupart des feuilles ont ensuite été « réimprimées » (c'est-à-dire remises en presse et réimprimées ?). Le texte de loi ne fut pas adopté à cette occasion, mais fut promulgué lors de la session suivante, sous le titre 5 Geo.II.c.30. Il est intéressant de voir le projet de loi original, imprimé, mais comportant des espaces vides pour les dates et autres détails tout au long du texte. 31, [1] p. Sans reliure ni plats (tel qu'il a été publié). Cousu au dos. Probablement extrait d'un volume plus volumineux. 33 cm x 20 cm. ESTC : T80404.
