HC Deb 20 February 1924 vol 169 c1771W
Mr. PIELOU

asked the Minister of Health if his attention has been drawn to the inadequate remuneration of registrars of births, deaths, and marriages; and, if so, does he propose to introduce legislation altering the present position during the Session?

Mr. WHEATLEY

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part, I have the question of the reconstruction of the registration service under consideration, but I regret that at present I cannot hold out any hope that it will be possible to introduce legislation dealing with the matter in the present Session.
