HC Deb 16 May 1912 vol 38 cc1433-4W
Mr. HODGE

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether an elective auditor, appointed under the Municipal Corporations Act, can, as one of his duties, claim to examine rejected tenders for contracts?—

Mr. BURNS

The auditors referred to are not appointed by the Local Government Board. The hon. Member's question could only be authoritatively determined in a court of law.
