§ Mr. KINGasked whether it is intended to adopt the recommendation of the Retrenchment Committee that the number of Lunacy Commissioners should be reduced to five and the salaries of all Commissioners largely curtailed?
Mr. SAMUELAs regards a reduction in the number of the Commissioners, I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave this afternoon to the hon. Member for Black pool. A reduction in the salaries of the Commissioners was not suggested by the Committee.
