HC Deb 16 June 1924 vol 174 cc1744-5W
Mr. R. MORRISON

asked the Minister of Health whether the Registrars of Births and Deaths for the sub-districts of East and West Tottenham and Wood Green, respectively, were required on appointment to give a written undertaking that they would devote the whole of their time to the duties of the office; whether he is aware that, owing to certain changes in the district, there is now great inequality in the emoluments received; and whether he will look into this matter and consider whether any rearrangement is possible?

Mr. WHEATLEY

I have no knowledge of any such undertaking having been required. The inequality between the emoluments of the several Registrars is mainly due to the unequal size of the sub-districts, a matter which will be considered on the occurrence of a vacancy.
