HC Deb 02 March 1933 vol 275 c547
58. Sir REGINALD BLAKER

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that by reason of the high costs of appeal from assessment committees, large numbers of smaller assessees are, in practice, without any redress, when aggrieved by a decision of an assessment committee; and what action he proposes to take in the matter?

Sir H. YOUNG

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. It is not contemplated to alter the statutory provisions on the subject.

Sir R. BLAKER

Does the right hon. Gentleman realise the great hardship imposed upon a large number of smaller people, by reason of the high cost of appeals to Quartet Sessions, and, if not, will be consider any information which I am able to bring to his notice?

Sir H. YOUNG

I shall be most happy to consider any information which the hon. Member has in his possession.
