§ Sir W. JENKINSasked the Minister of Health whether he is prepared to sanction the payment by rural district councils of proportionate contribution towards the Industrial Development Council for South Wales; and will he sanction the payment of reasonable travelling and out-of-pocket expenses of one member of the council to attend such meetings when called upon?
Sir H. YOUNGI have in fact given sanctions to payments of contributions to this council by rural district councils. As regards the payment of travelling and out-of-pocket expenses, I cannot properly sanction recurring expenditure of this character.
