HC Deb 17 May 1939 vol 347 c1426W
Mr. Messer

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the Devon County Council is deducting from the salaries of relieving officers who act as registrars 50 per cent. of the registrar's salary; by what authority this is done; and whether he will take steps to prevent this in future?

Mr. Bernays

The action attributed to the county council in the question had not previously been brought to my notice. I am making inquiries and will communicate further on the matter with the hon. Member.
