§ Mr. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been called to the correspondence with the guardians of the Brentford union in reference to the Reports of the Local Government Board inspectors, Mr. Roundell and Mr. Ekin, and the district auditor, Mr. Wilkinson; whether he is aware that dissatisfaction exists in Brentford with the action of his inspectors; and whether he will supply the guardians with the information that they have asked for in their letter of the 24th June, 1913?
§ Mr. BURNSI am aware of the correspondence referred to, and of the attitude taken up by the guardians. There would, in my opinion, be no advantage at the present time in further detailed correspondence in the matter, and I think it would be better that Mr. Roundell should confer personally with the guardians as to future arrangements. The guardians have already been informed to this effect.
