Lieut.-Colonel CLAUDE LOWTHERasked the Minister of Health whether it was with his sanction that a public librarian was appointed in Dalton-in-Furness without first advertising the position, thus debarring discharged men from the Services from making application for the post?
§ Dr. ADDISONNo, Sir. No sanction or approval of the Minister of Health, or of his predecessor, the President of the Local Government Board, was required in the matter. The local authority exercises its discretion.
