§ 24. Mr. Thorneasked the Minister of Health to what extend the Sudbury, Suffolk, Rating Committee, are doing work for the Health Department Valuation Committee; whether he is aware that the Sudbury Committee pay some of their young clerks 13s. per week; whether this authority has a valuation officer; and what action he intends taking about the matter?
§ Mr. E. BrownI have made inquiries, but I cannot find that there is a Departmental valuation committee such as is referred to. I am informed that the only person employed by the rating committee is a clerk who is employed at a salary of £35 per annum on a part-time basis. The answer to the third part of the Question is in the negative. The matter is not one in which I have any authority to intervene.
