asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will present evidence to the Whitley Council of the different interpretation of pay and conditions of service for chiropodists in each of the London boroughs in order that there shall be a common agreement and that there shall be no incentive for a chiropodist to move from one borough to another.

A common agreement already exists and responsibility for complying with it and securing uniform interpretation rests with the local authorities concerned which are parties to it through their representation on the Management Side of the Whitley Council.
