§ 40. Sir K. WOODasked the Minister of Health whether he can now make a statement concerning the appeals he has received against surcharges made by the district auditor in the cases of certain London boards of guardians?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYAs was stated in reply to a recent question by the hon. Member, the appeals are under consideration. I am not yet in a position to make any statement as to my decision in the matter.
§ Sir K. WOODDoes the right hon. Gentleman not think that these matters 2241 have been very long delayed, and is it not time that he came to a decision so that the House may know exactly what he is doing?
§ Viscount CURZONWill the right hon. Gentleman be able to announce his decision 'before the House rises for the Recess?
§ Mr. WHEATLEYI am advised probably not. They have not yet reached it.
