§ [The reference is to Bill No. 53, as first printed for the House of Lords.]
§
Clause 35, page 43, line 13, leave out subsection (1), and insert:—
("(1) On a vacancy arising after the commencement of this Act in the office of medical officer of health or sanitary inspector of a small burgh, the medical officer of health or sanitary inspector, as the case may be, of the county within which the burgh is situated shall ipso facto become the medical officer of health or sanitary inspector for the burgh, and such proportion of the salaries and expenses of such officer as the county council and the town council may agree shall be paid by the town council to the county council, and, failing agreement, as may be determined by the Department of Health.")
§
The Commons disagree to this Amendment for the following Reason:—
Because it is desirable that the sanitary inspector of a burgh should be resident in the burgh in order to deal with the matters which may require urgent attention, and that the burgh should not be required in every case to appoint for the purposes of the non-transferred sanitary services the sanitary inspector of the county.
§ THE MARQUESS OF SALISBURYMy Lords, I beg to move that we do not insist upon the Amendment.
§ Moved, That this House doth not insist upon the said Amendment.—(The Marquess of Salisbury.)
