Sir WILLIAM COLLINS

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether the Joint Board, set up to grant certificates under the Public Health (London) Act for sanitary inspectors and inspectors of nuisances, is about to institute examinations for meat inspectors; and whether the institution of such examinations falls within the powers conferred by Memorandum on the Joint Board?

Mr. BURNS

I am informed that the Joint Board are about to institute examinations for sanitary inspectors specially to qualify them to discharge the duties of meat inspectors. I understand that these examinations are of the nature of examinations for honours, and that the Joint Board consider that the institution of them falls within the powers conferred by the Memorandum of Association under which they are constituted.
