HC Deb 07 July 1910 vol 18 c1793
Mr. S. H. BUTCHER

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether the Welsh-speaking woman inspector, whose appointment has been promised, will be in addition to the three new inspectors recently appointed, or will she only fill the vacancy caused by the retirement last March of the senior inspector of boarding out, thus completing the number of six who were announced last January as intended to work under the woman superintendent?

The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Burns)

The new inspector will be additional to the three inspectors whose appointment was announced last January. She will, like the others, act under the superintendent lady inspector. This appointment completes the number of six referred to in the question.

Mr. S. H. BUTCHER

Does that mean that the Welsh inspector merely fills a vacancy created by the withdrawal of another inspector?

Mr. BURNS

Yes.
