§ 62. Mr. GALLACHERasked the Minister of Health whether he will ascertain and state the number of men on the Norfolk County Council receiving less than £1 per week in wages and the number of men in receipt of more than £400 per annum in addition to expenses approved by the last audit of account?
§ Mr. SHAKESPEAREI will ask the county council to supply the information desired and send their reply to the hon. Member.
§ Mr. GALLACHERWill not the Department take steps to stop the practice of increasing salaries and depressing wages in many municipalities?
§ Mr. SHAKESPEAREI cannot accept that aspersion on my own county until I have found out whether there is any scintilla of truth in it.
§ Mr. GALLACHERIt is a question of which the hon. Gentleman has had sufficient notice.
