HC Deb 12 December 1912 vol 45 c761
7. Sir JOHN LONSDALE

asked by what authority the agents of the Women's National Health Association attend meetings of county councils, sanatorium committees of county councils, and county insurance committees; by whom are these gentlemen appointed; and out of what funds are they paid for their services?

Mr. BIRRELL

I understand that the representatives of the Women's National Health Association who have attended at the meetings of local authorities have done so by arrangement with or invitation from these bodies, and that these representatives are appointed by the association and are paid out of its funds when their services are not gratuitous.

25. EARL of KERRY

asked why "Slainte," the journal of the Women's National Health Association of Ireland, is being sent out in envelopes bearing the Post Office stamp, official paid, as well as the official stamp of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland?

Mr. BIRRELL

This magazine is not sent out in envelope franked by the Lord Lieutenant, but a certain limited number are so sent to certain officials and others connected with the public health movement. The majority of the copies of this magazine are sent direct from the publisher's office in the ordinary way. Every envelope having an approved frank is also stamped by the Post Office as official paid.
