HC Deb 28 May 1913 vol 53 c163
5. Mr. CHARLES BATHURST

asked if the President of the Board of Agriculture proposes to appoint a special officer at the Board to supervise the work carried on in the twelve provincial areas in England and Wales under the new live stock improvement scheme of the Board; and, if so, whether he is prepared to receive applications from duly qualified persons for the post?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

Mr. E. J. Cheney, one of the Assistant Secretaries of the Board, is the officer specially charged with the administration of the live-stock improvement scheme. If, as is probable, expert inspectors are required to supervise the work in the provinces on behalf of the Board, applications from duly qualified persons will be invited by public advertisement.
