§ Mr. HUGH BARRIEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will state in how many cases during the year 1910 ordinary leave of absence was granted to surveyors of taxes, where sick-leave was 2373W applied for supported by a doctor's certificate; will he say whether this practice has his sanction; and, if not, will he have the usual practice reverted to?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEThe number of cases referred to by the hon. Member is seven. The circumstances of each case must determine whether sick-leave should be granted when a balance of ordinary leave is available.
