HC Deb 08 April 1919 vol 114 c1879W
Mr. FINNEY

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been called to the resolution passed by the local board of guardians of Walstanton and Burslem, and supported by the Stoke-upon-Trent Union, to the effect that experienced guardians of the poor, and their chief officers, should be represented as members of any consultative council giving advice and assistance in connection with such matters affecting, or incidental to, the health of the people as may be referred to in the Order in Council by which it is established; and whether, in view of the great experience of these bodies, he can favourably consider their request to have direct representatives on the Consultative Council to be established?

Major ASTOR

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given on the 2nd instant to a somewhat similar question by the hon. Member for East Nottingham.
