HC Deb 31 July 1936 vol 315 c1877W
Mr. WHITELEY

asked the Minister of Health whether he will state the attitude of his Department towards the question of permitting the public and representatives of the Press to be present at the audit of accounts under Part X of the Local Government Act, 1933, or whether only local government electors for the area to the accounts of which the audit relates are permitted to be present?

Sir K. WOOD

This matter is governed by statute and is not one in which I have any jurisdiction. Section 226 of the Local Government Act, 1933, provides only that a local government elector may be present or represented at the audit.
