§ SIR THOMAS ROETo ask the President of the Local Government Board, if he will state the principles and scale adopted by the Board in determining the amount of compensation on an appeal to them where the Local Government Act, 1888, Section 120, applies, in respect of abolition of office or diminution or loss of fees or salary.
§ (Answered by Mr. Walter Long.) In determining the amount of the compensation in cases of the kind referred to in the Question it is the practice of the Local Government Board to award as many sixtieths of the annual emoluments of which the officer has been deprived as he has served years, together with a special addition varying, according to the length of his service, from one-sixtieth to ten-sixtieths of those emoluments.
