§ MR. JOWETT (Bradford, W.)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board if he will inform the House how many public officials were in attendance during the sittings of the Housing and Town Planning Committee, in addition to the two clerks to the Standing Committee; what are the names of the said officials; and what offices they hold.
§ MR. JOHN BURNSBesides the Committee clerks, one of the Parliamentary Counsel and three or four of the officers of the Local Government Board were usually present, and when the Scottish clauses were under consideration one or two of the officers of the Scottish Office attended. I do not think it necessary to state the names of the officers referred to.
