§ Mr. LANSBURYasked the President of the Local Government Board what was the total amount expended by local authorities on festivities in connection with the 706W last Coronation; was any of such expenditure surcharged by the district auditors; if so, how much; and to what extent did the President of the Local Government Board remit such surcharges, if any?
§ Mr. BURNSI am not able to state what was the total amount expended by local authorities on Coronation festivities in the year 1902. In six cases persons surcharged by district auditors on account of such expenditure appealed to the Local Government Board. The total amount to which these appeals related was £110. Remission of the surcharges was granted, except to the extent of £10.
