§ Mr. BLACKasked the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware that the Worksop Board of Guardians have delayed the appointment 1086W of a public vaccinator for the Clowne district of the union for a period of six weeks, in order to enable them to elect a former member of the board who resigned his seat in July last; and whether he will express to the guardians his disapproval of this attempted evasion of the rule of his Department making ex-members of boards of guardians ineligible for appointments under their jurisdiction for one year after ceasing to be guardians?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe Worksop guardians have made a temporary contract for the performance of public vaccination in the district referred to, but I have no information as to their reasons for delaying to make a permanent appointment. The guardians have been informed of the Local Government Board's views as to the appointment as officers of ex-members of the board, and I will again draw their attention to them.
