§ 67. Miss Hornsby-Smithasked the Minister of Health what arrangements were made for the payment of enumerators employed on compiling the census; and what is the period of delay between completion of their duties and the payment of their total remuneration.
§ Mr. MarquandThe payment is made in two instalments. A basic allowance of £6 was paid to the enumerator when he handed the completed forms of return to the local Census officer in April: the balance (ranging in most cases from £2 to £5) comprises allowances which will vary in each of the 50,000 enumeration districts and is payable when the claims have been verified centrally. I am informed that some of these claims have already been paid, and that the remainder should be settled within the next four weeks.
§ 75. Mr. Jannerasked the Minister of Health if he can yet make a statement on the provisional figures arrived at from the recent census in England and Wales.
