asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that at a recent bye-election for a casual vacancy on the West Ham board of guardians two relieving officers in the employ of the board were found to have distributed literature to recipients of relief and otherwise used their influence in the election; and if he intends to take any action in the matter?

Yes, Sir. I have already made some inquiries about this case, and I am considering whether further action on my part is necessary.
