HC Deb 16 November 1916 vol 87 c958
18. Mr. LUNDON

asked whether the Government contemplate giving any war bonus to clerks of Petty Sessions; and, in view of the fact that many of these men are married and with large families, will something be done to assist them?

Mr. DUKE

The reply to the first part of the question is in the negative. Except in a few instances clerks of Petty Sessions do not devote the whole of their time to their duties as such and usually engage in other occupations.
