§ Mr. O'GRADYasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the fact that the time for meeting of many of the provisional health committees will necessitate a financial loss to the working-men members of those committees, steps can be taken to recompense them for the loss sustained, as is done in connection with the Labour Exchange advisory committees?
§ Mr. MASTERMANAs I stated in answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Carnarvon on 24th July, the Insurance Committees can pay railway fares in counties for any members of committees, and are doing so in a number of cases, I am afraid, however, that in this case, as in that of other similar administrative public bodies with executive power, it would be impossible to arrange for payment for loss of time.
