§ MR. SEXTONasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, Whether the Government are aware that Mr. Richard Harvey, Stamp Distributor at Drogheda, has been appointed Secretary to the Board of Conservators of Fisheries of the Drogheda District; whether the district in question extends from Drogheda to the most distant part of the county of Meath; whether the performance of the 46 duties of the office of Secretary to the Board will require Mr. Harvey's frequent presence at places distant from Drogheda; whether the performance of the duties of the office of Stamp Distributor at Drogheda requires Mr. Harvey's daily attendance at the stamp office in that town; and, whether Mr. Harvey will be permitted to hold both offices?
§ MR. HIBBERTI believe Mr. Harvey has accepted the office in question. It is not under the control of any Government Department. This is not contrary to the Regulations of the Service as long as his duties as Head Distributor of Stamps are properly performed. The hon. Member may rest assured that the Board of Inland Revenue will take good care that they are attended to. The Board of Inland Revenue are aware of the case.
