HC Deb 19 November 1936 vol 317 cc1910-1
61. Mr. SHORT

asked the Minister of Health whether he proposes to introduce legislation to enable urban district councils to bear the reasonable expenses of their members when acting on assessment committees and other public bodies meeting outside the areas of the council?

Mr. R. S. HUDSON

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the hon. Member for Blaydon (Mr. Whiteley) on 12th November.

Mr. SHORT

Would the hon. Gentleman say what was the effect of that answer?

Mr. HUDSON

It was to the effect that any proposal for amending legislation would need consideration of wider issues.
