HC Deb 05 May 1920 vol 128 c2068
67. Mr. BRIANT

asked the Minister of Health if the Rochford board of guardians has refused to apply the Civil Service Award to their officers and has refused to allow the case to go to arbitration; and if he will intervene to secure the bonus for the officers and thus prevent the possibility of a strike with its calamitous consequences to the poor in the charge of the board?

Dr. ADDISON

Yes, Sir; I have written to the guardians pressing them to reconsider their decision.

68. Mr. BRIANT

asked the Minister of Health how many boards of guardians have refused to grant the war bonus sanctioned by his Department to their officers?

Dr. ADDISON

I am afraid I have not this information.
