§ Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKasked the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware that the medical officer of health for the West Riding County Council, in his annual report for 1911, has drawn attention to the fact that in certain instances he has not received copies of representations in compliance with Section 69 (1) of the Housing, Town Planning, etc., Act, 1909; and what steps, if any, will be taken to ascertain the reason for these omissions on the part of those responsible for making the Returns?
§ Mr. BURNSI am aware of the statement in the report for 1911 to which the Noble Lord alludes, but I am glad to be able to inform him that the report also records an improvement in the matter during 1912. I gather that the local officials were not fully alive to the new requirement.
