§ Mr. CROOKSasked the Minister of Health whether he has received any protest against the recommendation of the Hatfield Board of Guardians to amalgamate the offices of the master of the institution and of the relieving officer, thereby terminating the appointment of one of the existing officers and putting the whole responsibility on the other; whether he is aware that both the present officers are ox-Service men; and what action has been taken in the matter?
§ Dr. ADDISONI understand that the Guardians have decided, after a discussion with the General Inspector of the district, not to proceed with this proposal.
