HC Deb 06 April 1911 vol 23 cc2580-1W
Mr. ARTHUR HENDERSON

asked the Home Secretary whether, when a justice of the peace signs at his own residence the declaration of a conscientious objector under the Vaccination Acts, he is entitled to retain the fee charged, or whether it must be forwarded to the justices' clerk?

Mr. CHURCHILL

A fee authorised by a Table of Justices' Clerks Fees can be demanded only when a clerk has rendered the service in respect of which the fee is authorised. I am advised that when a declaration is made before a justice in the absence of the clerk no fee should be demanded.
