§ SIR JOHN COLOMB (Great Yarmouth)To ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he can now state, or before Clause 23 of the London Water Bill is reached he will promulgate information showing, the amount and nature of the remuneration to be assigned to each of the Commissioners by the Local Government Board.
(Answered by Mr. Walter Long.) I gave careful consideration to this matter before the Bill was introduced; but I felt then, and still feel, that it is impossible to determine the amount of the remuneration to be paid to the Commissioners until the extent of the ditties which they will be called upon to perform is ascertained. For this reason I am unable to give the information desired by my hon. friend. I have satisfied myself, however, that no undue cost will be involved.
