HC Deb 22 April 1914 vol 61 cc933-4
85. Mr. WILLIAM THORNE

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he has now received the information from the West Ham Union previously promised?

Mr. HERBERT LEWIS

Yes, Sir, my right hon. Friend is informed that the guardians gave a week's notice determining the engagements of certain classes of their employés, re-engaging them from day to day, instead of subject to a week's notice, but otherwise on the same conditions of employment as before. No officer or servant working under a monthly agreement of service has been affected, and the interests, under the Poor Law Officers' Superannuation Act, of the employés concerned are not disturbed by the new arrangement.
