§ Sir F. FLANNERYasked the Minister of Health if his attention has been called to the recent decision of the London County Council to pay an additional sum of £2,000 per annum to their chief engineer; what would be the total amount of remuneration now receivable by that officer; and whether his Department propose to take any steps in the matter?
§ Dr. ADDISONThe appointment in question and the salary attached to it are entirely within the discretion of the County Council, and therefore I do not propose to take any steps in the matter.
