HC Deb 03 April 1922 vol 152 c1866W
Sir B. CHADWICK

asked the Minister of Health whether it is the case that certain public authorities, in forwarding demand rate notes, attach thereto an exact statement as to how this rate is expended; whether such action is recommended by his Department; and, if so, whether he will consider the desirability of giving it the effect of law?

Sir A. MOND

I am aware that many authorities show on their demand notes details of the purposes for which the rates are levied. I regard the practice with favour, and I will certainly consider whether it would be practicable to extend it.
