§ 41. Mr. R. RICHARDSONasked the Minister of Health whether he has sanctioned the proposed appointment of clerk to the Erpingham Board of Guardians; whether he is aware that the chief reason given by the board for the proposed appointment is that the selected individual has a head clerk who has been 2173 accustomed to doing work for a board of guardians; and whether he will insist upon the board obtaining a person who has personal knowledge of Poor Law work, and not one who would have to rely upon the services of others whilst at the same time enjoying the emoluments and privileges of the office?
§ Dr. ADDISONI have not sanctioned this appointment. I am impressing on the guardians the importance of selecting a candidate who is qualified by the possession of Poor Law experience as well as by War service.
