§ 40. Sir COURTENAY WARNERasked the Minister of Health whether; in view of the representations which he has received from the Rural Districts Councils' Association, and the resolution which was passed at the last annual conference of rural district councils of 1727 England and Wales as to the inadequacy of the extra remuneration authorised by the general housing memorandum, No. 17, to be paid by rural district councils to their clerical staff for services in connection with housing schemes, and the inadequate nature of the provisions of that memorandum, he will at once take into consideration the desirability of substantially increasing the sum of £100 per annum authorised by that memorandum, and of extending the period of one year from the date of the inception of a housing scheme during which such extra remuneration is payable?
§ Dr. ADDISONI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave yesterday to my hon. Friend the Member for Barkston Ash (Mr. Lane-Fox), of which I will send him a copy.
