HC Deb 23 June 1931 vol 254 c231
71. Mr. SIMMONS

asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the Census enumerators who were employed in the area covering the Erdington Parliamentary Division have not yet received the sums due to them in settlement of their claims for services rendered; that the majority are unemployed men; that this withholding of their remuneration is causing much real hardship; that one man sent his boots to be repaired at the beginning of his engagement and is waiting the settlement of his claim before he can recover them; and if, in view of the hardship indicated by these facts, he will cause an immediate settlement of all the outstanding claims of these men to be effected?

Miss LAWRENCE

Orders were issued for payment of the Census enumerators in respect of the two sub-districts which comprise the Erdington Parliamentary Division on the 4th and 16th June, respectively.
