LOCAL AUTHORITIES (MEMBERS' EXPENSES).

HC Deb 28 October 1919 vol 120 cc499-500W

Mr. F. ROBERTS

asked the Minister of Health whether it is proposed to promote legislation empowering local authorities to allow and pay their members reasonable expenses incurred in attending the meetings of such authorities and their committees?

Dr. ADDISON

I have referred this matter to the Consultative Council on Local Health Administration established under the Ministry of Health Act, and I am awaiting their advice before deciding whether to submit to the Government any proposals to the effect indicated in the question.
