§ Mr. Johnasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that a sum of £28 was stolen from the rates office at Brixham on 4th September; that the matter was not reported to the council until two months later, and that not until then were the police asked to investigate; and whether, in view of these facts he will hold an inquiry?
§ Mr. ElliotMy attention was drawn to this case and it was reported to the district auditor. The matter is not one in which I am empowered to hold an inquiry.
