HC Deb 26 June 1913 vol 54 cc1242-3W
Mr. THOMAS RICHARDSON

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether the recent grant of salaries in lieu of payment by fees to the vaccination officers of the Henley-on-Thames Union, amounting to £55 per annum, will continue in the event of vaccination decreasing to a small percentage of births annually, or ceasing altogether, and leaving nothing beyond a small amount of clerical work for the officers to discharge; and how he would propose to relieve the ratepayers from the burden of the quasi sinecures thus created?

Mr. BURNS

The Order authorising the payment of salaries, amounting to £56 in all, to the three vaccination officers of the Henley Union, continues in force until the Local Government Board otherwise direct, and the salaries are to be the sums named in the Order, or such other sums as the Board may from time to time approve.
