HC Deb 06 March 1922 vol 151 cc897-8W
Mr. T. GRIFFITHS

asked the Minister of Health whether he is now in a position to state the result of his communication with the Knighton guardians on the subject of the scale of wages paid to masters and matrons of workhouses?

Sir A. MOND

I am informed by the guardians that 28 married couples applied for the post of master and matron at the Knighton institution; that the officers appointed have had considerable experience of the management of Poor Law institutions; and that the guardians are not, at present, disposed to increase the salaries offered by them.
