§ MR. J. WILLIAMS BENN (Devonport)To ask the President of the Local Government Board whether he can propose or facilitate legislation to secure superannuation for local government officials upon similar lines to the Poor Law Officers' Superannuation Act.
(Answered by Mr. John Burns.) I could not take steps for the purpose suggested. Indeed it appears to me that the subject of superannuation of local government officers would require careful consideration before legislation on the subject could be proposed.
