HC Deb 06 July 1914 vol 64 cc806-7
18. Sir PHILIP MAGNUS

asked the President of the Local Government Board what steps, if any, he has been able to take to remove the pressing disabilities of medical officers of health as regards insecurity of tenure, absence of any scheme of superannuation, and inability to obtain payment of travelling expenses in discharge of their duties, which were brought under his notice by the deputation which he and the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the President of the Board of Education recently received; and whether the position of sanitary inspectors, as regards some of their disabilities, is likely to be improved?

Mr. HERBERT LEWIS

I can say no more at the present moment than that the matter is engaging the close attention of my right hon. Friend.
