asked the Home Secretary whether the appointment of an inspector under the Cruelty to Animals Act, 1876, is a new office; what are the total annual emoluments from the position; and whether the appointment carries a pension?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

No, Sir. The appointment was made to fill a vacancy caused by the retirement of the previous inspector, The total annual emoluments of the post, including Civil Service bonus, are £1,023 9s., and the appointment is pensionable.

Captain CROOKSHANK

Is the officer appointed to this position already a pensioned officer?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

If the hon. and gallant Member will give me notice of that I will let him know.

Mr. FENBY

Is the official a qualified veterinary surgeon?

Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKS

That again, I must have notice of that question.
